Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming

ABSOLUTE MIRACLE (3) saluted at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when second over 1106m at this track, beaten one length. Yet to miss the frame in four starts over this course and distance. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. CHESS NOT CHECKERS (7) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by one length over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. BEACHES AND PEARLS (5) led throughout last start to score an effortless 3 lengths win over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should figure in the finish. WE'LL DO IT LIVE (6) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 12 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Must be respected.
