Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

WE NEED A FAVOR (3) finished sixth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time out following a determined win two runs back. Good enough to take this out. TATANKA (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. EDDIE M (2) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight, beaten 10 lengths into fourth. Has the talent to take care of this field. THRU THE VINE (5) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only seventh over 1207m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Don't underestimate.
