Thistledown Race 7 - Michael G. Mackey Memorial Angenora S. Stakes

CANDLELIGHT HOURS (3) scored in stakes class at this track (Dirt) last time out with 1.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1811m. Has 13 wins here. T Houghton who has scored on her 13 times retains the mount. Leading contender. SILENT RULE (6) was back from a break last start and finished second over this distance at Mountaineer Park (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Yet to be beaten here, scoring four wins from as many starts. Expect a bold showing. LIONISTIC (1) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1811m at this track. Jose A Bracho has scored on her two times and is back in the saddle. Sure to be competitive. CITY SCENE (4) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Finds another suitable race and can go on with the job.
