Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
PUFF'SMAGICDRAGON (3) Had a comfortable win by 8L last run at this venue and showing improvement in recent outings. Rising in grade. Dropping back to a shorter trip. In the mix. P H FACTOR (5) Couldn't stay in touch when 5th last run at this track. Can make a comeback but up against tougher competition. Should be going forward early. Back to a shorter distance. Can give this a shake. EL BAMBINO (2) Resuming after a spell of 38 weeks. Stormed home to win last run around here and has a positive gate. Should be swooping on the field late. Down in distance. Include in chances. LITTLE VAQUERO (4) On a short turnaround. Honest race when 2nd last start at Ruidoso Downs and matched against less formidable competition. First appearance for a new trainer. Keep in mind.
