Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

SWEET AS SIN (3) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 1609m, finishing fourth and beaten 9 lengths. Has a fine record here with six wins from 13 starts. Right in this. LUCKY JEREMY (6) finished fourth two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length after being prominent at the corner over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. HOT GUNNER (5) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. BIG LUCKY (1) fitter for the first up run over 1207m at this track (Dirt), finishing 9 lengths from the winner. Appears suited by the extra journey this time and rates among the each way chances.

Second run back. First-up after three months ran second last of 7 at this track on August 10 over 1207m, 9 len behind Colonel Vargo with 54.5kg at $24.40. Previously second-up won by 2 len at this track on October 15 over 1609m defeating Biscotti with 54kg at $2.40. Fitter and worth including.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track on August 18 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind We Need A Favor carrying 56kg at $7.30. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at this track on July 20 over 1609m defeating Reinvest with 56kg at $2.70. Everything points towards a big run.
