Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

EXPRESS CRUISER (5) returns after a spell of ten months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1207m at Oaklawn Park. Looks a winning chance. OTIS OTIS OTIS (2) got home by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has eight wins here. Winning hope again. OSPREY (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 1106m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) with today's rider L Negron engaged. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and four minor placings from 10 starts. Has to be respected. MAKING ME CRAZY (6) was beaten 8 lengths into fourth over 1609m at this track at his latest appearance. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
