Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

STAGE NAME (4) resumed over 1207m in Listed grade at Belterra Park (Dirt) last start and could only manage fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Is yet to be beaten when second-up from a spell from three starts and will strip much fitter for this. Worth following up. TROUBLE IN MOTOWN (3) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 1207m at this track (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. WILDCAT EXPRESS (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. HIP HIP HOORAY (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on December 4, finishing seventh and beaten 21 lengths over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.

Second run back. First-up after a year 2nd in a small field at this track on June 1 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind Scrimper with 54kg at $4.90. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 14 len at Mahoning Valley March 19 2025 over 1207m defeating Media Darling carrying 56kg at $3.10. Fitter for recent racing and is a winning hope.
