Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

GUNS AND SHIPS (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1207m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. COASTING BY (5) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when fifth, beaten 4 lengths, over this journey at Belterra Park Turf (Turf). Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to turn things around. DEEP STAR (4) finished in the placings when a 9 length third on dirt at Colonial Downs two back but then disappointed on turf last time at Colonial Downs Inner Turf over 1609m when eighth, finishing 8 lengths from the winner. Looks a major player back on the dirt. Chance to atone. ACES MISCHIEF (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th of 11 at this track on September 9 over 1207m, 3 len behind Go Jack Go carrying 56kg at $10.40. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track on August 20 over 1609m defeating Wise Words with 54kg at $5. Should be right in the finish.
