Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

BELLA FUTURE (2) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track (Dirt), most recently beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CHALON'S FIRST (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2.75 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from six runs. Leading player again. BOZAANO (1) resuming after back-to-back wins at the end of last campaign at Mahoning Valley and this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will give backers a great sight. COALMINER'S KITTEN (3) lines up for the first time since May 21. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1408m at Tampa Bay Downs. Now under the care of new trainer Rodney C Faulkner. One to consider.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 8 at this track on August 19 over 1106m, 6 len behind Big Prankster carrying 56kg at $16.40. Before that 3rd of 8 at this track on July 27 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Daddy Justify carrying 56kg at $10. Cannot be ruled out despite a moderate effort last time.
