Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
GAME PERFORMER (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1106m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fifth. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. IT'S LAST CALL (6) returns after a spell of six-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1106m at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Comes here with definite claims. SPICE BAG (2) followed an unplaced effort first-up two runs back with a second last start over 1106m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. LEO'S LEGACY (5) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the J L Radosevich stable. Finished off last campaign with a fourth at Parx (Dirt) six-and-a-half months ago. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Shapes as a top-three chance.
