Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

GAPPER (5) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 0.3 lengths. Record at this track is strong. Sure to go well. SOCIAL HISTORY (9) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was prominent at the bend before being beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1106m at this track. Has never missed the frame second up. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. MUTINY (4) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1106m at Mahoning Valley. One to consider. MUCHO PRIMO (1) was well beaten and faded right out of it last time at this track (Dirt) but gets some weight relief today. Looks well placed here so may be worth including.
