Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
FROSTY PAWS (1) filled a minor placing when fresh from a spell two starts ago. Could not back that up last time when 9 lengths away in sixth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Fitter and well-placed to turn things around. STORMIN'UNCLEJACK (4) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling out the back and failing to make an impact when sixth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. INCHON (2) has switched yards since finishing fifth a month ago over 1106m at Gulfstream Park All Weather. Comes here with definite top-three claims. BELLA FUTURE (5) was beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth in a 1207m contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

At the latest run eased back early on 6th of 8 at this track on May 2 over 1207m, on a wet track; 5.5 len behind Atkins with 56kg at $20.40. Before that 4th in a small field at Mahoning Valley on April 7 over 1207m, 6 len behind John's Rock carrying 56kg at $10.10. Capable of more – worth another chance.
