Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

ANGEL I'M NOT (5) finished second over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on January 5. Looks a winning chance. BRIEF ENCOUNTER (1) went forward when resuming last start and proved too strong, getting home by half a length over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to feature in the finish. DRILL BLITZ (2) has been in the money at both runs this campaign, finding the line strongly last time to finish third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Must be respected. SHES A STORM (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 7 when beaten 5 lengths into fourth at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) over 1207m after being up on the pace until straightening. Good enough on her day and can fill a top-three spot.

Second run back. First-up after seven months came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track May 5 over 1106m defeating Siofra with 54kg at $4.50. Previously second-up 4th in a small field at this track on August 28 over 1207m, 4 len behind Rosetta with 54kg at $1.10. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Returns from a 61-day let-up. At the latest run second last in a small field at Mahoning Valley on March 19 over 1207m, 7 len behind Extra Crafty with 56kg at $24.90. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Mahoning Valley on March 10 over 1207m, 6 len behind Right Trappe with 56kg at $14.30. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
