Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
REB (6) failed to figure again last time over 1509m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths into fifth. Capable of playing a major role on his best form. NYDINI (3) was only 0.3 lengths from the winner in second last time out in a small field over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Hasn't been far away this time in work with two minor placings from four starts. Sure to go very well. OTZELBERGER (2) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt). Strong winning chance on best figures. PRINCETON (1) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fourth after being in the firing line on the turn at his most recent outing over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Worth plenty of thought.
