Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
KETTLE COALMINE (2) produced a good effort last start when second over 1106m at this track (Dirt) to make it six minor placings from nine runs this preparation. Overdue and gets his chance. BIG DADDY HANK (1) finished second last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt) to make it three minor placings from four runs. Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this course. Likely to be in the finish. BOLD WINDSOR (3) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in contention on the bend over 1106m at this track, an improvement on his seventh at Mahoning Valley the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BASOVAK STAR (8) finished midfield last start on debut over 1106m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths when in the market. Deserves another chance.
