Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming

WAUHATCHIE (5) was successful last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), getting home by 1.5 lengths to make it three wins in a row. Winning rider Rocco Bowen retains the mount. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. ZIPPIN GIGI (1) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 4.5 lengths as public elect last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Victor R Fernandez scored on him last time and retains the mount. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. SUNSET TOWN (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 lengths into eighth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PATRIARCHAL (6) scored two runs back then was popular with punters last time but could only manage to finish sixth over the same trip at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Finds a nice race and can make amends.

On a three run winning streak. Most recently came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at this track May 2 over 1106m defeating Smokin' Hot with 55kg at $2.40. Before that ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Mahoning Valley March 31 over 1207m defeating Dream On Baby carrying 56kg at $7.10. Sure to be right there at the business end.
