Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming

MASTER OF THE NITE (7) has been freshened up since a disappointing eighth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago. Expected to bounce back. SUNSET TOWN (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GUT INSTINCT (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at this track and distance when first-up from a layoff last time out. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. CARILLO (2) was beaten 7 lengths into ninth in a 1609m contest at this track four weeks ago. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

Second-up. First-up after nine months scored a big 3 len win at this track on August 20 over 1609m defeating Digital Footprint with 52.5kg at $2.60. Previously second-up ran second last in a small field at this track on October 9 over 1609m, 14 len behind Extradition with 54kg at $12.90. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.
