Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
SWEET VIVIAN (5) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing eighth and beaten 14 lengths starting at $3.20. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MIDNITE KINGS FATE (1) settled well back and never came on when resuming last start, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. CHARDU (3) finished 6 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1106m at this track three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Right in this. GYPSY KAT (2) stepped out on her debut over 1106m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 5 lengths. The introduction of Lasix brings her right under notice.
