Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
SADIE'S GHOST (1) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Set to return in style. COUPLE BEERS DEEP (2) resumes from a spell of three months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at this track over 1106m. Nicely placed and expected to go well.

SHADOW STRIKE (6) is on debut. By Tidal Volume and hails from the Kim Puhl stable. Watch the market closely.
