Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
TRUEST AIR (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1106m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. CASTLE QUEEN (5) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when sixth in a 1207m contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. This is a nice drop in grade so she is sure to be prominent. DESTINY'S TOT (4) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 22 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Solid top-three chance on her best figures. OAK MIRNA (3) made progress last time out, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in third over 1106m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.

At debut, didn't finish the race at this track May 4 over 1106m. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.

Second run back. First-up after nine months second last of 7 at this track on May 4 over 1106m, 18 len behind Bobber's Rocket with 56kg at $34.90. Previously second-up eased back early on 6th of 8 at this track on July 3 over 1106m, 24 len behind It's Browns Time with 54kg at $45.10. Ready for improvement with that run under the belt.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 7 at this track on May 4 over 1106m, 8 len behind Bobber's Rocket with 54kg at $24.90. Before that second last of 9 at Mahoning Valley on March 30 over 1207m, 25 len behind Stacy Ellen with 53.5kg at $99.70. Likely to be attacking the line strongly.
