Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
SHEZTHEFACTOR (3) turned in a nice run last time to finish second over 1106m at Hawthorne after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. GAGA'S GIRL (7) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished seventh at her last appearance over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on May 7. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. PROUD WORDS (6) is a 13-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth after being prominent at the turn at her latest appearance over 1408m at Charles Town (Dirt). Worth including in this suitable contest. TIZ MAGNIFICENT (5) is returning from a spell of six months. Finished fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1106m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Anthony F Rini.
