Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
FANTI (4) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1106m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) when he was in the firing line all the way. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. EXODUS (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. KUKUK (6) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1106m. Has a decent record at this track with three minor placings from four runs. Should be involved in the finish. TERRYSONTILT (1) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1710m at Belterra Park Turf (Turf). Well placed and can feature in the finish.
