Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
LOONY (3) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 3.5 lengths last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to take this out. SUNSET TOWN (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 7 lengths when sixth in a 1207m contest at this track three weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. QUARANTINO (1) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1207m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. SMASH (5) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Do not underestimate.
