Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

POWERFUL PHIL (6) resumes in a similar race to his last run four months ago when fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths. Should be hard to stop. SERENDIPITOUS (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SPIN DOCTOR (4) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1106m at this track, beaten 2 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Alexander Chavez gets the best out of this nine-year-old gelding. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. OVERLOAD (3) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. No surprise to see him in the mix.
