Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

OVID (7) is a multiple winner who is yet to miss the frame in four starts. Last appeared when he finished second over 1207m at Belterra Park on June 26. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts him right in this. DIXIE'S MEMORY (2) finished third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time out following a determined win two back. Form here over this distance is very good with a win and three minor placings from four starts. A bold showing is expected. RIVER BYE (8) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track (Dirt) two starts back then scored by one length as favourite last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Luis A Gonzalez scored on him last time and retains the mount. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DRILL CITY (6) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance seven months ago over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Has to be respected.
