Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

RECKLESS L J (6) last appeared when he finished sixth over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) on December 24. One of the genuine hopes in the race. THE PINK Z (3) was an impressive winner last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 6 lengths to make it two in succession. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. BLAZING TONY (2) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fifth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. DERBY INCLUDED (5) finished second two runs back at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again.
