Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
WHISKEY POINT (3) is closing in on a win after two consecutive minor placings, the latest when third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Will drift back but wind up late. Will prove hard to hold out. LOOKIN LIKE LUCKY (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into fourth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. PRINCETON (4) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 17 lengths when 11th in a 1207m contest at Oaklawn Park six weeks ago. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. LAO WAY (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 lengths into fifth. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th of 8 at this track on May 7 over 1609m, 9 len behind Astro Beau with 56kg at $23.90. The run before that 4th in a small field at Mahoning Valley on April 8 over 1207m, 7 len behind Total Silence carrying 57kg at $11.70. Can make amends for a modest effort last time.

Last start 5th of 8 at this track on May 7 over 1609m, 12 len behind Astro Beau carrying 56kg at $80.30. The run before that ran last of 7 at Mahoning Valley on March 27 over 1609m, 25 len behind Northside Tap carrying 57kg at $14.40. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
