Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

THAT'S THE WAY (5) scored at this track (Dirt) last time out with half a length in reserve at the end of 1207m. Has four wins here. Expected to measure up. HITE (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 6 lengths away in second over 1646m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. AINT NO BANDLEADER (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1646m after being in the firing line all the way. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Likely improver with strong prospects. CANNON MAN (3) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
