Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Optional Claiming

S'MOR CRAFTY (4) scored by a nose last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a very good record here including four wins from eight starts. Among the leading chances. HITE (1) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by 0.8 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to measure up again. MR LOOOCH (5) was prominent at the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1207m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. IRONCLAD ALIBI (2) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 11 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Open to improvement and should be about the money.
