Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

O G MR BRIGHTSIDE (1) was well fancied last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 5 lengths. Luis Raul Rivera who has two wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. BALKI BARTOKOMOUS (6) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by half a length over 1207m at this track (Dirt). In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. DOUBLE AGENT (3) hit the line nicely last time to grab third, beaten 8 lengths, over today's journey at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and shapes as one to consider. SEEKING FREEDOM (2) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1207m at this track, finishing 6 lengths from the winner. Winning claims on best figures. Something for the Multiples: O G MR. BRIGHTSIDE (1)

Form hard to fault. Most recently came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track May 27 over 1207m defeating He's My Boy with 54kg at $2.40. Before that 3rd in a small field at this track on May 6 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind O G Mr Brightside carrying 54kg at $3.30. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.
