Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

SPIRIT OF AKRON (7) has switched yards since scoring by 2 lengths at this track over 1207m on September 22. Key runner. LIVE A LITTLE (6) showed good pace over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by 2 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. COUNTING ON CLYDE (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 5.5 lengths away in third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MY VALENTINO (4) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a decent effort last time out when third over 1207m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Expect a better run this time.

Returns from a 42-day let-up. Most recently 4th in a small field at this track on August 19 over 1106m, 8 len behind Hidden Ransom with 55kg at $4.80. The race before that scored a big 4 len win at Belterra Park on July 19 over 1207m defeating Runaway Power carrying 56kg at $3.80. Hard to make a winning case.
