Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
TODDCHERO (2) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the corner over 1408m at Tampa Bay Downs, an improvement on his seventh at Tampa Bay Downs the run before. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. STAY THIRSTY AMIGO (3) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on February 12, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths over 1106m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. BUCKET LIST (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 8 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Has never missed the frame second up. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. BLACK CANDY (6) drifted back when resuming last start over 1207m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) and failed to threaten, beaten 12 lengths into sixth. Backmarker who keeps coming. Not to be discounted.
