Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
TYSON'S LIL' STAR (6) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Has plenty of upside so a big run is anticipated. DRILL EM (8) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of five months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Set for a bold return. LUCKY'S PRIZE (3) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1207m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. TURKODANCER (7) was in contention on the turn and finished third last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Should be peaking. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
