Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

O G MR. BRIGHTSIDE (6) proved too strong two runs ago at Mahoning Valley. Couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1106m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so he can return to the winners' list. CALORESE (3) is a five-year-old entire who is having his first run for the J L Radosevich yard. Resumes after finishing eighth at Emerald Downs (Dirt) at his last run eight months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks well placed. Leading player expected to feature. BALKI BARTOKOMOUS (4) is racing well without being able to break through, the latest effort a second over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. In-form four-year-old gelding so he is expected to be in the finish. HE'S MY BOY (7) was beaten 8 lengths into sixth in a 1106m contest at this track last time out. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. Something for the Multiples: DONALD'S NATION (2)

At the latest run second last in a small field at Mahoning Valley on April 10 over 1207m, 16 len behind Counting On Clyde with 54kg at $39.80. The run before that ran last of 7 at Mahoning Valley on March 26 over 1207m, 99 len behind Gone Wild carrying 54kg at $44.30. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 50 day letup. Resuming won by 1.3 len at Mahoning Valley February 24 over 1207m defeating Triangulo Rojo with 57kg at $5.50. Last start 4th in a small field at Mahoning Valley on March 17 over 1609m, 27 len behind Docs Legend carrying 57kg at $12.10. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Mahoning Valley on April 10 over 1207m, 3 len behind Counting On Clyde carrying 56kg at $2.90. Before that held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Mahoning Valley on March 26 over 1207m, 11 len behind Gone Wild with 56kg at $3. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.
