Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming

AIRFORCE LIGHTNING (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 11 lengths, over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Has further improvement to come and is a great chance to break through. HIGH SUMMER (1) returned from a spell a month ago when she was beaten 19 lengths into seventh over 1207m at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. STHENIC (4) returned from a break last start with a mediocre fourth over 1609m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) after giving away a big start. Likely improver with strong prospects. RUBY RIVER (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 12 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
