Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
TIZ RUDDY BEN (2) returns from a spell of 11 weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fifth over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Should be hard to stop. GOLDEN AL (3) has been racing in great heart with three top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. HEART OF AN ANGEL (4) finished 6 lengths away in fifth last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Deserves another chance. QUARANTINO (6) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1207m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. This looks a good race for him and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
