Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
DANZA MAGIC (2) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only half a length over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Angel I Diaz gets the best out of this six-year-old mare. Nicely placed to take this out. SHAKEURSKINNYLEGS (4) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has a high cruising speed. Expected to be in the finish. BOX STEP (7) resumes in a similar race to her last run 14 months ago when she scored by one length. Has to be respected. CARMEN OHIO (8) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), finishing 13 lengths back in sixth. Well placed and should be thereabouts.
