Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

TWILIGHT VISION (3) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STARCOURT (4) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 5 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Winning rider N Vigil stays aboard. Sure to play a big role. SPECIAL BEACH (7) produced a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Genuine contender. GEORGIA ON E'SMIND (5) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when eighth over 1207m at this track, beaten 15 lengths. One of the main hopes.

At the latest run sat on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 10 at this track on July 28 over 1207m, 4 len behind Tizzy Jojo with 54kg at $19.90. The start before that 5th of 8 at this track on July 20 over 1106m, 12 len behind Starcourt carrying 56kg at $42.20. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run scored a big 5 len win at this track on July 20 over 1106m defeating Crackle with 56kg at $2.40. Before that 2nd in a small field at this track on July 7 over 1106m, 0.5 len behind Sharp Az Can Be with 54kg at $7.30. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot.
