Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

DOCTOR WU (5) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SUNSET TOWN (1) ran well below his best last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths into fifth at $5.90. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. FLORIDA GATOR (2) lifted strongly to score by 1.3 lengths three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Deshawn L Parker has been in the money at the last three rides. Expected to measure up. BIG PRANKSTER (4) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by a nose over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can feature in the finish.
