Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
JASPER VALLEY (1) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish third last time over 1006m at this track (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths. Backmarker who keeps coming. Further improvement to come and this looks his chance. SOUTHERN DAWN (5) is on debut for the James R Jackson stable. Two-year-old colt by Goldencents from High Legend. Should acquit himself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. EMPIRE VYBZ (4) is facing the starter for the first time. By Classic Empire and is out of the Jason Dacosta stable. Expect a bold run. BATTLE READY (2) is a two-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Robert M Gorham. By Army Mule from Drillit. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
