Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
BRIGHTER DAY (5) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and two minor placings from four starts. Sure to run well. RED CHIPS (4) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TEMPERED DREAM (1) reunites with N Vigil after scoring with ease over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from five starts. Shapes as one to consider. SO THAT'S THAT (3) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth plenty of thought.
