Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

IT'S OFFICIAL (3) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Yan Aviles who has scored on him six times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. LIBERATE (4) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 7 lengths win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) to make it two in a row. Winning rider Rocco Bowen stays aboard. Leading contender. SPECIALIZED (1) finished fifth last start over this distance at this track (Dirt), beaten 18 lengths. Has a very good record here including four wins from eight starts. Should be competitive. MUTINY (2) improved sharply last time out to score by 3 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Solid top-three prospects.
