Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

WEEKEND RETREAT (5) Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd last run around here but back to a shorter trip. Expected to be flashing home. Getting better in recent performances. Cannot underestimate. COLORFUL LAD (1) Racing fresh after a break of 34 weeks. Flew home to win last time around here and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Likely threat. GRAY TORMENTOR (2) Was competitive when 3rd last start at the track and drawn nicely. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. Looks value and a good place bet. NATIONAL STORY (6) Not competitive when 4th last start at this venue. Should improve here. Could give a show.
