Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

GAPPER (2) ran on strongly only to just miss as favourite last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. HIDDEN RANSOM (5) is back at the races for the first time since December 3. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1207m at this track. Has found a suitable race. MUCHO PRIMO (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fifth in a 1207m contest at this track three weeks ago. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. VENTURE ON (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on December 10, finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Worth plenty of thought.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming ran last of 8 at this track on May 7 over 1207m, 24 len behind Midnight Warship with 54kg at $45. Last start eased back early on 6th of 8 at this track on May 18 over 1207m, 7 len behind Into Gold with 56kg at $28.50. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.
