Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
ENZITO (4) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1006m at Mahoning Valley after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GUNN'S ROAR (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Mahoning Valley, beaten 6 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. KEI (1) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 14 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Worth including in this suitable contest. TROUBLE OR NOTHIN (2) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1106m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt), beaten 4.5 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects.
