Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
KNICKS GLORY (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1509m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 19 lengths. Strips fitter and can take care of this field. GHOSTAGAIN (3) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fourth over 1106m at this track three weeks ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FIRST ACT (4) is back after a break of four months. At the last run before the layoff he finished ninth over 1408m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). One of the leading chances. DAYTONA GOLD (1) was safely held when resuming last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Capable of featuring.
