Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

CLASSY DISPOSITION (4) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by one length last time out over 1646m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Will prove very tough to beat. VODKATINI (2) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by half a length over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Record at this journey is impressive with five wins and five placings from 15 runs and should be in the finish. LUBU (1) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Angel I Diaz gets the best out of this five-year-old mare. Finds an easier assignment and can take this out. SACRED CONNECTION (6) settled well back last time then wound up strongly in the straight to finish third over today's journey at this track (Dirt). Will be running on late again.
