Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

EILEEN'S DESPERADO (1) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 4 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this circuit. Winning rider Becerra Fernando Salazar stays aboard. Expecting a bold showing. STREETS OF WAR (8) was well fancied last time but could only manage second over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the bend. Leading contender. HEART OF AN ANGEL (6) finished just half a length from the winner in second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after racing in the leading division. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PRINSIPITO (7) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when second over 1207m at Belterra Park, beaten 1.3 lengths. In contention this time.
