Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

BRIEF ENCOUNTER (5) is racing well, scoring two back at this track (Dirt) before finishing 0.3 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should be prominent from the outset. Will play a major role. VAL'S TWINSTAR (2) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) at her latest appearance. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Leading contender. KETTLE KISS (6) finished fifth last start, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1207m at this track. Is yet to miss the frame from three starts at this distance, including two wins. Should be competitive. DRIVEN FOR SUCCESS (1) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but was below par last time when out of the placings at this track (Dirt) over 1207m after she had travelled in a rearwards position. Nicely placed to make amends.
