Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
READ THE ROOM (3) went forward last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LATIN SPICE (5) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Will need a good ride from Jose A Bracho off the awkward draw. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. DAVID'S GEM (4) was in contention on the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 3.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. OWN THE TOWN (2) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back.
