Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight

BASOVAK STAR (3) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1106m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. CRICKLEWOOD (1) made progress last time out, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1609m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LOWELLS LEGACY (2) turned in a better effort to finish second last start, beaten one length over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Should appreciate the longer journey and can take this out. SON OF A G Q (6) is yet to break through after eight starts. Missed the placings last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Don't underestimate.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 4th in a small field at Belterra Park on June 27 over 1207m, 14 len behind Scioto with 56.5kg at $18. Second run from a spell 5th of 8 at this track on July 23 over 1207m, 5 len behind El Canelo One with 56kg at $17. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
