Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

FULL SPECTRUM (7) finished 20 lengths adrift in seventh last time at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. This doesn't look as hard so he is set to turn things around. COUNTING ON CLYDE (1) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on August 11 over 1106m when he got home by 0.8 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. UNBRIDLED O'BRIEN (6) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 0.3 lengths last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Will be hard to run down again. PARTY POOPER (3) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 1106m, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be thereabouts.
