Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

AUTHENTIC COWTOWN (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Has a solid second up record. Tackling a more suitable race so he is a leading contender. MARQUITOS M (6) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Nicely placed to take this out. NAMBITI (4) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track (Dirt), most recently beaten 4 lengths into third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. TAHLEQUAH JOE (3) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 7 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
