Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
ENZITO (1) finished second over 1006m at Mahoning Valley two back then missed the frame last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Backmarker who gets home hard. Terrific chance to return to form. UNION SWAG (6) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. GUNS AND SHIPS (4) was well in the market first up from a spell last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt) but was safely held in fourth, beaten 11 lengths. Best form augers well for this. TROUBLE OR NOTHIN (7) is a 11-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when 9 lengths away in third over 1106m at this track. Well placed to run a big race.

Second-up. Comes off a 56-day let-up. First-up after two months second last of 7 at Parx on March 23 over 1308m, 27 len behind Accelerated Dating carrying 55.5kg at $61.20. Previously second-up ran last of 11 at Parx on January 14 over 1207m, 30 len behind Designed By Smarty carrying 54.5kg at $158.90. Unlikely to threaten.

Racing well recently. Most recently ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on May 4 over 1106m, 2.5 len behind Go Collector with 56kg at $15.10. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Mahoning Valley on March 25 over 1106m, 10 len behind Noble Soul carrying 57kg at $3.10. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.
