Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

WORKSTATION (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Has the ability to get the job done. MO MO LIGHTNING (2) was well in commission last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 2 lengths. Has a decent record at this track. Bold showing expected. GRITS N GRAVY (8) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth. Angel I Diaz gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Has the talent to put the recent run of form behind him. MY BABY BULLET (3) comes here following a win over 1106m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 7 lengths. Should be involved in the finish.

The race before that 2nd in a small field at this track on June 29 over 1207m, 0.3 len behind Unbridled O'brien carrying 53.5kg at $17.10. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.
