Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
JENN SWEET JENN (5) went forward when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 12 lengths. Won't find this as tough so she is sure to prove hard to beat. VERI COLLECTED (4) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 1308m at Charles Town (Dirt). Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. BALLERINA WAY (1) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Ricardo Bailey. By Game Winner from Siparia. Respect any positive move in betting. CHIDERA (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 25 lengths into fifth. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
