Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

BRIEF ENCOUNTER (2) is racing well. Scored at this track (Dirt) two back then finished third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt) at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with two wins from four runs and looks a top chance. DRILL BLITZ (3) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on her last start second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m when beaten 1.3 lengths. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. GO GIRL (1) did a great job to score by 2.25 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to figure in the finish. ANGEL I'M NOT (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 6 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Victor R Fernandez who has three wins when partnering stays on. One of the better hopes.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd in a small field at this track on August 19 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Val's Twinstar carrying 53.5kg at $3.40. The race before that came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at this track on August 5 over 1106m defeating Val's Twinstar carrying 51.5kg at $7.60. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
