Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

GUNNER GABRIEL (6) lifted strongly to get the prize by 6 lengths three runs back at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Winning rider Rocco Bowen sticks. Sure to run well. IRONCLAD ALIBI (7) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m when he was beaten 3 lengths. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and should prove tough to beat. IT'SGOODTOBESEEN (1) is back after a break of seven months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at this track. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Kristina M Tumblin. Comes here with definite top-three claims. SPECIALIZED (2) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on November 13, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Can feature in the finish.
