Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming

CANDY CRUSHEM (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 5 lengths at this track and distance when resuming from a layoff last start. Likely to be there at the finish again. ICE BLAST (6) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 12 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Distance specialist with eight wins and eight minor placings from 22 runs and should be in the finish. I'LL FIGURE IT OUT (4) went around over this course and distance last time and led from the outset to score by 7 lengths. Should figure in the finish. SAILOR'S CHANCE (1) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on three consecutive occasions, before finishing fourth last time out over 1609m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be thereabouts.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Most recently eased back early on in a small field at this track on April 28 over 1609m, 17 len behind Prince Day with 54kg at $10.30. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Mahoning Valley on March 16 over 1609m, 2 len behind See Spot Run carrying 56kg at $7.80. Can do a lot better than that last run.

At the latest run 4th in a small field at this track on May 19 over 1609m, 14 len behind I'll Figure It Out with 54kg at $9.80. The start before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at this track on April 28 over 1609m, 6 len behind Tetched carrying 54kg at $52. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.

Second run back. First-up after three months won by 5 len at this track May 4 over 1609m defeating Sight Unseen carrying 56kg at $4.10. Previously second-up second last of 7 at Mahoning Valley on February 16 over 1673m, 8 len behind Smash with 56kg at $15.20. Big chance to make it back-to-back wins. Improver with winning prospects.
