Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

WASABI BEACH (4) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over today's course and distance when resuming from a break last start. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. EAGLE NEST (6) was far too good first up last start when he scored by 3 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement and is expected to feature in the finish. RECKLESS L J (2) started this preparation with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1207m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including eight wins. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. SPECIALIZED (1) went to the paddock after scoring at his only appearance last prep ten weeks ago over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record here at the distance with four wins and two placings from nine tries. Deserves respect on best figures.
