Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
KILLA CREED (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1207m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HAPPYCASTLE (5) comes here off a break of three months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at Mahoning Valley. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. DERBY DAY ICE (1) showed promise on debut last time out when in the money over 1207m at Belterra Park (Dirt), beaten 5.5 lengths. Promising type with improvement to come so he should be in the finish. DOIN MISCHIEF (3) returns after five months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Solid top-three hope.
