Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight

BASOVAK STAR (6) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten only one length after being in contention on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DRAGON HUNTER (3) is back at the races for the first time since April 28. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at Mahoning Valley. Expect him to play a major role. RIVERS RUN FAST (1) started at $3 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 25 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BUMPER STICKER (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on March 18, finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Lines up today for the first time for trainer Saul M Morales. Worth plenty of thought.
