Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming

MORE LOVE (2) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by half a length last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Form at this track is solid. Sure to go well. GO WEST (3) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Winning rider Luis A Gonzalez sticks. Leading contender. WAUHATCHIE (6) has been racing in great heart with three wins on end followed by recent back-to-back placings, the latest a third over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Likely improver with strong prospects. ZIPPIN GIGI (5) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2.5 lengths win over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Expected to feature.
