Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

EILEEN'S DESPERADO (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing second and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1207m after being in the firing line on the turn. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three minor placings. Likely improver with strong prospects. GAME PERFORMER (1) turned in a decent effort last start when he did his best work late to finish third over 1207m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TROUBLE OR NOTHIN (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LAO WAY (3) turned things around last start and got the job done by 5 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well placed to feature in the finish again.
