Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

GENERAL MATHIS (2) is a talented type yet to taste defeat after three runs this campaign, the latest over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Goes on top again. I WANNA WIN (7) finished 1.3 lengths back in second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give a great sight. HIDDEN ACCESS (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 7 lengths away in third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). In a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. LITTLE TOY GUNS (5) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Deserves respect.

Form hard to fault. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on August 19 over 1609m, 7 len behind General Mathis carrying 53.5kg at $5.20. The run before that won by 1.5 len at this track on July 27 over 1609m defeating Hite carrying 51kg at $3. Leading chance again.

Resumes after a break of nine weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign to post a big 6 len win. This track June 30 over 1609m defeating Gapper with 54kg at $1.50. When resuming last campaign third in a small field at Belterra Park May 15 over 1673m, 4 len behind Just Like Rambo with 55.5kg at $5.70. Should run well.
