Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
SHEZ SHACKED UP (5) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a good record here at this journey with three wins and seven minor placings from 14 starts. Will be hard to stop. SALUTE THE KID (3) last appeared when she scored over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on October 8. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. DRIVEN FOR SUCCESS (6) showed good speed and fought on for second over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time. Luis Raul Rivera who has scored on her four times retains the mount. One of the main contenders. CAUSE OF LOVE (1) was on a winning run of two races but last time out missed the frame when fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt).

Form hard to fault. Most recently in a small field at this track on May 6 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind S'mor Crafty carrying 56kg at $12.30. Before that won by 1.0 len at Mahoning Valley April 7 over 1207m defeating Go Girl carrying 57kg at $4. Easily accounted for last time out but this suits.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on May 6 over 1207m, nose behind S'mor Crafty carrying 54kg at $2.40. The race before that 2nd in a small field at this track on April 28 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Banana Pudding carrying 51.5kg at $2. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.

Second run back. First-up after seven months sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 7 at this track on May 12 over 1106m, 2.75 len behind Kerri's Miracle carrying 54kg at $2.30. Previously second-up 4th in a small field at this track on May 19 2025 over 1106m, 6 len behind Boogie Boogee with 54kg at $5.50. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
