Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

ULTIMATE DESTINATN (4) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 1106m at Belterra Park (Dirt). Can push forward again here and expected to go very well. SADIE'S GHOST (1) is a talented gelding who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 15 lengths behind Superwolf over 1207m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Will play a major role. COWGIRLSLUVME (3) is a talented gelding who was well held last time out in the tougher race won by Strategic Profile over 1811m at this track, beaten 48 lengths into eighth. Finds the right race to make his mark. RUN VINICIUS (2) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 8 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and can make amends.

Comes off a 59 day let-up. Last start ran second last of 9 in stakes class at this track at this track on June 20 over 1811m, 48 len behind Strategic Profile carrying 55kg at $56.90. The run before that ran second last of 9 at Listed level at Belterra Park at Belterra Park on May 29 over 1710m, 20 len behind Water Into Wine with 55.5kg at $7.50. Worth forgiving the last couple of outings.
