Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
BASOVAK STAR (6) is still a maiden after six runs. Was in the market last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after he gave away a big start. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. DREAMLINER'S KID (1) resumes from a spell of 15 months and is having his first outing under new trainer Dale Carrington. Finished sixth at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) over 1207m at the opening run last time in work. Definite winning chance this line-up. RIVERS RUN FAST (8) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LUCY'S FIRST SONG (2) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with winning claims.
