Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

VECCHI (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. GHOST OF LONDYN (6) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when fourth over 1207m at this track, beaten 15 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race so he can play a big role. NATIONAL STORY (7) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. That followed a win at Belterra Park at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. REDDEN (2) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
