Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

TRICKY TIGER (3) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Has the pace to be thereabouts from the outset. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. MR PENNY PINCHER (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Finds a more suitable contest and can run another big race. WITHOUT OBJECTION (1) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. The engagement of Luis A Gonzalez is noteworthy. Has the class to figure prominently. ATKINS (6) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record here at the distance with three wins and five placings from eight tries. Deserves respect on best figures.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran second last in a small field at this track on July 28 over 1207m, 7 len behind Devil's Tower carrying 54kg at $13.80. The race before that ran second last in a small field at this track on June 30 over 1207m, 4 len behind Moreau with 54kg at $5.30. Can atone for a modest effort last time.

Second run from a spell 5th of 9 at this track on July 21 over 1207m, 5 len behind Fortissimo with 54kg at $27.70. Might need easier race.
