Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
THE DEVIL'S DREAM (6) scored at this track (Dirt) last time out with 2 lengths to spare over today's journey. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins and three placings. Rates highly and should go well. SUSHI Q (3) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 1106m, finishing fifth and beaten 12 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. QUICK RENDEZVOUS (4) went fast early over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by 2 lengths. Has the class to build on that strong effort last start. PRETTY PATTY (1) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish third, beaten 9 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects.
