Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
USAIN TH (1) turned in a eye-catching run last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), winding up hard from well back on straightening to finish a close second. A repeat of the latest effort will see him in the finish again. FIGHTING THE WARS (5) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when sixth in a 1106m contest at Gulfstream Park All Weather three-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. ENZITO (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1106m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GUNS AND SHIPS (8) is a four-start maiden who finished third over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. Something for the Multiples: UNION SWAG (11)

Most recently second last in a small field at this track on May 18 over 1106m, 6 len behind Improbability carrying 56kg at $2. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at this track on May 4 over 1106m, 2.5 len behind Go Collector carrying 56kg at $15.10. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.
