Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
EVERYNOWANDTHEN (5) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 15 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. MY PAISAN (10) went forward over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time and held on for second. Will be close to the pace despite the draw. Will prove tough to beat. PAUL RALPH (8) is on debut for the J L Radosevich stable. Three-year-old gelding by Fort Larned from Miss Kim. Must be kept safe, particularly if there is a market lead. RIVERS RUN FAST (9) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to play a big role.

Was at big odds at debut, 3rd of 8 at this track on August 13 over 1106m, 7 len behind Silver Zapper with 56kg at $34.70. Not likely to find this quite as easy as the debut outing.
