Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

CASTLE MAGIC (3) Put together a strong on-speed performance when 3rd beaten by 2 1/2L last run at Mahoning Valley. Finishes off strongly. Serious player. QUICK RECOVERY (4) Lost ground in the run home when 5th last run at Mahoning Valley. Should improve here. Good to see Jose A Bracho is jumping on. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. ALTER THE STARS (1) Picked up some late ground when 4th last run at Mahoning Valley and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Change in trainer. Can go through the gears. One of the hopes. DEVRA WARRIOR (2) Gave away some ground when 6th last start at Mountaineer Park. Has the ability to turn things around and gets a favourable draw. Back to a shorter trip. Could surprise at odds.
