Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
CANDY SPRINKLES (6) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Should camp just off the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. JOHANNA'S LIFE (7) was prominent from the outset on debut last start and held on well for third, beaten 6 lengths, over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Can get off the mark this time. GAMAY (2) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the turn. Goes up a rung or two but she is capable of a big run. PROUD WORDS (1) finished 13 lengths adrift in sixth last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Likely improver with top-three prospects. Something for the Multiples: BOTTLED TIME (5)
