Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

OKLAHOMA JOE (2) lines up on the back of a 6 length fourth over 1207m at this track. Has solid form at this circuit with three wins and nine minor placings from 24 starts. Well placed and should be tough to beat. I WANNA WIN (1) didn't threaten when resuming last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth, beaten 9 lengths. Has a fair record when second up, including four top-three finishes. Among the winning hopes. NEED TO KNOW BASIS (4) proved too strong two runs ago at Mahoning Valley. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1207m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HIDDEN ACCESS (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on March 11, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Has recorded three wins when first up from a break. One to consider.
