Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

ATLAS FALLS (4) turned in an eye-catching run over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish second. Strong effort last time and is worth following up. PROFESSOR NICK (6) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at this track. Expect him to play a major role. SPECTACULAR D'ORO (1) improved last start when he made late ground to finish third over 1207m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. EMOJI TIME (2) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and is worth following up.

Most recently ran last in a small field at this track on July 30 over 1207m, 8 len behind Docs Legend carrying 53kg at $5. Before that won by a 0.3 len at this track on June 29 over 1207m defeating Mo Mo Lightning carrying 52kg at $1.30. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.

At the latest run ran last in a small field at this track on August 10 over 1207m, 19 len behind Heza Pistol carrying 54kg at $45.10. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at this track on July 22 over 1207m, 11 len behind P J's Boy carrying 55kg at $4.30. Likely to find them too smart.
