Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming

GAMBOLING GHOST (2) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. FINISTERE (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by a nose over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Going up a level this time but he cannot be underestimated. ROYALLY FLUSHED (6) was prominent at the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1207m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Looks well placed so expect another big run. RAMSEY (3) fought on for second last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Likely improver with strong prospects.
