Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
ROLL ON BIG O (2) was a most impressive winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 6 lengths. In form and expected to be in the finish again. EAGLE NEST (1) started at $5.90 last time but could only manage sixth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 1207m. Has a high cruising speed. Leading contender. STUNT MAN (5) was a most impressive winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 5 lengths. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will be in this for a long way. HEY EUGENE (4) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fourth over 1207m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Expect a better run this time.
