Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming

BRIEF ENCOUNTER (2) lifted strongly to get the prize by 1.3 lengths three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. WATCH ME DADDY (4) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1207m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Has the class to take this out. DRILL BLITZ (6) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and seven minor placings from nine starts. Should be competitive. OH GLORIOUS DAY (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
