Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
GRAYDARIA (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was always up in the leading division over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. QUARANTINO (5) got the prize two runs ago at Mahoning Valley. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 1609m at Mahoning Valley, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be underestimated. BREEZE THE BAYOU (3) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) over 1673m. Winning chance. LOONY (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 2.25 lengths over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 40 day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Mahoning Valley on March 18 over 1609m, 5 len behind Chasing Colton carrying 55kg at $2.60. The start before that favourite; won by 1.3 len at Mahoning Valley March 5 over 1207m defeating Interval with 54kg at $10.40. Only has a small field to contend with and looks hard to beat.
