Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
MIDNIGHT DRIVEN (9) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by a nose over 1106m here last time out. Going well and should give a bold sight again. I BELONG FIRST (3) has had two runs since a break, the latest a second over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten half a length. Fitter for recent racing so she is among the leading chances. RON DAH LOU (5) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. JAC'S COCOABELLA (2) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when second over 1609m at Mahoning Valley, beaten half a length. Should be thereabouts.

Second run back. First-up after three months 3rd of 8 at this track on April 20 over 1207m, 4 len behind It's Browns Time carrying 54kg at $14.80. Previously second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at this track on July 3 over 1106m, 5 len behind It's Browns Time carrying 56kg at $13.20. Improver with winning prospects.

Last start eased back early on 6th of 8 at this track on April 20 over 1207m, 6 len behind It's Browns Time with 54kg at $5.80. The run before that won by 0.5 len at Mahoning Valley March 31 over 1609m defeating Jac's Cocoabella carrying 53.5kg at $2. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Yet to taste defeat in two starts. When well in the market on debut, won by 10 len at Mahoning Valley March 30 over 1207m defeating Moon Dreams with 53.5kg at $3.40. Last time out raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at this track April 20 over 1106m defeating Kerkyra with 54kg at $3.60. Should be right in the finish.
