Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
LIGHTNING SPEED (4) Close up last start at the track. Rocco Bowen is in good form for this stable. Must respect. MISTER BAD EXAMPLE (5) Robert C Cline trained 3yo by Catholic Boy on debut. Keep your eye on the market. JOLLY MON (7) Narrowly denied victory last run at Mahoning Valley but coming back in distance. Won't be far away. PURE GRINDING (1) Came on strongly to finish 2nd last run at this track and drawn beautifully. Should be going forward early. Jockey Erik Barbaran and trainer Megan Fadlovich are a promising combination. Could give some each way value.

Did well to run into 2nd beaten by 5 1/4L last run around here and has a nice advantage with a good gate. Form has been improving over recent runs. Can figure in the finish.

Jumped at $16.00 and faded away to finish 6th last time at the track but gets a favourable draw. Shows good early pace. Will need everything to go right.

At $11.00 lacklustre showing when 9th last time at Mahoning Valley. Racing for a new trainer. Might have to make up considerable ground. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

Was agonizingly close last start at the track. Jockey Rocco Bowen and trainer Timothy E Hamm deserve respect as a team. Strong prospects.

Kept boxing on when 3rd beaten by 5 1/2L last start at this track. David J Haldar and Justin Radosevich deserve serious consideration as a team. Win won't shock.

Close to a win last run at Mahoning Valley but will be down in distance. Solid claims.

At $16.00 finished 4th last run at this venue. Jockey Brandon Leonardo Tapara and trainer Jeff Fletcher work well together. Very difficult to back.
