Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming

SWEEPING GIANT (2) Controlled the pace to win by 1/2L last time at this venue and strong performer at this distance. Will be trying to topple them late. Has a good draw. Major chance. KADESH (4) Made some ground late when 2nd last run at Mahoning Valley. Has run into the placings at every start this preparation. Looks to have a good chance of placing. DR JACK FLYER (6) Picked up nicely to win last start at Mahoning Valley and will be well suited at the trip. Should muster plenty of early toe. Very competitive this campaign. Can't knock. CAVENDISH (3) Was eating up the ground late when winning last run around here. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the bounce. Include in chances.
