Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
HEIDI N SEEK (7) is going well with five minor placings from six starts this campaign. Was always up in the leading division and finished 0.1 lengths from the winner in second last time out over 1207m at Belterra Park (Dirt). Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. TRUTH N SOUL (3) has filled a minor placing on four occasions in nine starts. Failed to add to the tally last time out when sixth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this distance with three top-three results from six starts. Among the top chances. TURKODANCER (5) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. COUPLE BEERS DEEP (8) is a three-year-old gelding who has filled a minor placing just once in five runs. Failed to threaten when 16 lengths from the winner in fourth first up last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Deserves another chance in this line up.
