Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

EAGLE NEST (4) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 3 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Boasts five wins here. Erik Barbaran who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. WASABI BEACH (7) scored an impressive win by 4 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Won at his only second-up appearance and another big run will not surprise. RECKLESS L J (1) was comfortably accounted for when third last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. That followed a good first-up win at this track. Faces an easier assignment so he is a leading player. PARTY POOPER (5) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when sixth over 1207m at this track, beaten 14 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure prominently.
