Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
SUSIE'S KID (2) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Less impressive last time out when fifth over 1207m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so he can recapture winning form. SPIRIT OF AKRON (3) finished fifth two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length after being prominent at the turn over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player again. WORTHY OPPONENT (7) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be competitive. MUCHO PRIMO (1) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten half a length. Should take a lot from that hit-out. In the right race and is worth serious consideration.
