Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
BRIGHTER DAY (6) Competed in a tight contest last run at Belterra Park and showing consistent performance in races. Rocco Bowen takes the reins today but will be dropping in distance. Ready to win. REDDEN (2) Felt the pinch late when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last time here and gets a favourable gate. Will be positive in the run early. Could run a race. SMOOCHER (3) First up after a break. Disappointing effort when 6th last run at Mahoning Valley. Will be trying to topple them late. Respect. TEMPERED DREAM (5) Sub-standard effort when 8th last run at this venue. Not out of this.
