Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

ICEBERG SLIM (3) missed the frame last time when fifth at Charles Town (Dirt). That followed a run of three wins on end. Should be prominent from the outset. Will play a major role. SIMPLY VALID (2) was well in commission last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths. Form here at this trip reads three wins from five starts. Likely to feature. QUARANTINO (6) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt), finishing 6 lengths back in seventh. Has the class to return to form. BIG PRANKSTER (8) built on a nice second two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success as public elect over 1106m at this track (Dirt) two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
