Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

MAGIC MOTOWN (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when second over 1207m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. LIBERATE (5) comes here off a break of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at Mahoning Valley. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. HITE (2) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track (Dirt) two starts back then landed the prize by 1.75 lengths last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success. COLOR BEARER (3) was beaten 10 lengths into fourth in a 1207m contest at this track at his latest appearance. No surprise to see him in contention.

Second run from a spell 2nd in a small field at this track on June 10 over 1207m, 6 len behind Mr Loooch carrying 54kg at $8.20. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
