Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
DOLLAR DANCE (7) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1106m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. COMPOSITION (3) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight, beaten 14 lengths into fifth. Going up a level this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. RAVISHING RUBY (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 6 lengths away in third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. PYRAMID SCHEME (8) was returning from a 101-day layoff last start but she was eased out of the race at this track. Capable of much more this time.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 33-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 8 at this track on July 29 over 1106m, 6 len behind Kiddie Cocktail carrying 54.5kg at $3. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on July 9 over 1207m, 4 len behind Rock My Style with 54.5kg at $3.70. Should be right in the finish.
