Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
MORODER (4) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1207m at Tampa Bay Downs. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. USAIN TH (2) improved last start to finish third over 1207m at Mahoning Valley. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. T' RAY (6) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in the firing line on the turn, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1609m at Turfway Park. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. NYDINI (1) is back after a break of eight months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix. Something for the Multiples: GUNS AND SHIPS (3)
