Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming

PICARO (1) settled well back last start and never threatened when 17 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Alexander Chavez gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. EILEEN'S DESPERADO (6) led throughout last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) and scored a comfortable win. Carries more weight this time but is likely to play a major role. ADMIRAL NELSON (5) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Likely to play a major role. GOOD STUFF (7) has switched yards since scoring by 2 lengths at this track over 1106m on August 11. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal.
