Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

IMPROBABLE FIRST (1) hit the frame two starts ago at Mahoning Valley but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 8 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has the ability to take this out. MORE LOVE (3) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 4 lengths at this track (Dirt). Boasts four wins here. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. COALMINER'S KITTEN (7) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1106m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SO DIALED IN (5) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Solid prospects again.
