Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

INDIAN FEVER (5) returns from a layoff of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1609m at this track. Has ability and should be right in the finish. PAINT THE TOWN (1) settled well back and failed to come on in the straight last start when fourth, beaten 9 lengths, over this course and distance. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. LUCKY VICTOR (2) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a fourth at this track (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 3.5 lengths last time out after being in contention on the corner over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Must raise the bar but another win beckons. CHECK THE FACTS (6) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 0.3 lengths away in second at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
