Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
EAGLE NEST (6) is back after a break of five months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1207m at this track. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from three starts. Expect him to play a major role. OLLIE'S FOLLY (3) found plenty to get the prize by one length three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Record at this track is strong. Leading contender. JOHN FITZGERALD (1) put the writing on the wall last time when a close second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Alexander Chavez sticks. Fitter and expected to run well. MAY MAYHEM (2) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a superb record here at the journey with two wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. Among the better hopes.
