Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

OL' NELSON (6) Resumes from a break of 41 weeks. Led throughout when winning by 3 1/4L last time at Presque Isle Downs. First start for a new trainer. Displays good tactical speed. Serious contender. IVORY SKY (3) Average performance when 6th last start at the track. Can make a comeback and stepping down to a lower level. Up to these. A VAN ON THE RUN (1) Bold effort when winning last start at this track and has minimal work to do from the draw. Has a nice turn of foot. Genuine threat. VERNON'S BEST (4) Finished strongly when 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L last start at this track but taking on stronger competition. Producing consistent results this campaign. Has a great burst of speed late. One of the hopes.
