Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
JASPER VALLEY (8) debuted seven weeks ago when he finished fourth over 905m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths. Likely improver and can get off the mark this time. DISTINCT RULER (2) is a two-year-old colt on debut by Vekoma from Nava who has been an outstanding producer including winners at black type level. Jumps from a favourable gate and should be about the money. STARLIT IDOL (6) is on debut for the J L Radosevich stable. Two-year-old filly by Idol from Ohio Gold. Keep an eye on betting moves. MKERACINGREATAGAIN (7) is a two-year-old colt on debut by Improbable from Miss Emma Maria who has been a prolific producer including winners at black type level. Looks one of the better chances despite a tricky draw.
