Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
INTERVAL (4) Was overpowered late when 2nd last start at Mahoning Valley. Angel I Diaz and Nestor R Rivera have a good working relationship. Will be positive in the run early. Genuine winning chance. IT'S LAST CALL (7) Competed in a tight contest last run at Mahoning Valley. Should muster plenty of early toe. Jockey Erik Barbaran and trainer Rey Juarez Mendoza go well together. Can measure up to this company. Z BOSS (5) Did well to finish 3rd beaten by almost 13L last time at the track and stepping up in trip. Will be hitting the line strongly. Has to be strongly considered. CREEK (9) Came on strongly when 3rd beaten by 13L last start at Mahoning Valley. Jockey Victor R Fernandez usually performs well for this stable. Possesses good finishing speed. Can take this out.
