Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming

MIDNIGHT WARSHIP (4) did a great job to score by 1.75 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Finds another suitable race and can go on with the job. HIDDEN RANSOM (1) was fresh from a seven months break last start and scored by 3 lengths at this track (Dirt). Boasts four wins here. Mauro Cedillo who has four wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. KINDERHOOK (6) has been kept fresh since running below his best at the last run two months ago, finishing fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Winning claims on best figures. GUNNER GABRIEL (8) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Solid claims on best form.

Second run back. First-up after seven months ran on from midfield and won by 3 len at this track June 9 over 1106m defeating A Prayer For Kids carrying 56kg at $1.60. Previously second-up won by 0.8 len at this track May 12 2025 over 1106m defeating Gone Wild carrying 54kg at $2.70. The one to beat based on that latest effort. Improver with winning prospects.

Most recently sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 7 at this track on June 3 over 1106m, 0.3 len behind Rumble Strip Ron carrying 54kg at $2.20. The race before that 5th of 8 at this track on May 20 over 1106m, 8 len behind Specialized with 54kg at $12.30. Doesn't need to improve much to play a big role.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 48-day let-up. Last start won by 1.75 len at this track May 7 over 1207m defeating Mr Loooch with 56kg at $6.20. The run before that scored a big 7 len win at Mahoning Valley April 10 over 1207m defeating Gapper with 57kg at $4.90. Can take this out.
