Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

FAST AND FRIENDLY (6) has won three from four and is unbeaten in two runs this campaign, including a victory over the same distance last start. In top form and expected to go close again. IRONCLAD ALIBI (9) is overdue for a win with two recent placings, the latest finishing second over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt), and is down in the weights this time. Angel I Diaz has registered two minor placings when on board. Sure to play a big role. GRAY DAY (7) is back at the races for the first time since September 30. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1207m at Mahoning Valley. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Can make his presence felt. SPECIALIZED (8) returns from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Strong record with Erik Barbaran aboard, including five wins. Worth including in calculations.

Returns from a 37-day let-up. At the latest run second last of 8 at Mahoning Valley on March 23 over 1207m, 15 len behind Dark Vader with 56kg at $24.20. The start before that scored a big 3.5 len win at Mahoning Valley March 4 over 1207m defeating Condemnation carrying 56kg at $3. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd in a small field at Mahoning Valley on April 10 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Ilikethat carrying 56kg at $1.80. The run before that 2nd of 9 at Mahoning Valley on March 27 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind The Pink Z with 56kg at $9.60. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.
