Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Claiming

DAYTONA GOLD (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. INTERVAL (6) is still a maiden after 13 starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt) following a minor placing at this track (Dirt) over 1207m the run prior. Cannot be left out of calculations. VALID CONNECTION (4) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Nicely placed to go one better. RUFUS (1) improved last time out, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at this track. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
