Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
MOONLIGHTER (2) was beaten just a nose last start when second in a small field over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Proven performer at this circuit with minor placings at all six runs. Leading contender. ROLLIN FOR REAL (6) finished third last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) to make it two minor placings from eight runs. Has recorded two top-three finishes from five runs at this venue. Among the leading players. SCARED CAUSE (4) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. KILLA CREED (3) finished 8 lengths from the winner in fourth after being in the firing line on the turn at his most recent appearance over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Appeals as a top-four contender.
