Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming

MASTER OF THE NITE (3) lifted strongly to score last time with a 0.8 lengths win over 1609m at this track (Dirt), making it two straight wins. Looks well placed again here. PUFF'SMAGICDRAGON (1) produced a good effort last start when second over this distance at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in eight starts, including four wins and four placings. Sure to be there at the business end. DR SCHUSTER (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1609m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into seventh. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. KYKEON (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on June 1 over 1609m, 6 len behind Master Of The Nite carrying 55kg at $5.30. The start before that raced on the pace before fading 7th of 9 at this track on May 11 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind John's Rock with 55kg at $7.70. Small field and looks one of the chances.
