Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

BIG PRANKSTER (5) continued the solid form last start, finishing 1.5 lengths back in third at this track (Dirt) over today's trip. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. MR. BOGAN (4) was never in contention when 9 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1106m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at this track the run before. Has the talent to take care of this field. LILTONYTWOPHONES (2) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. QUARANTINO (3) is on a quick back-up after finishing seventh in better company 10 days ago over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Capable of putting that recent failure behind him. Something for the Multiples: ERLAN (1)

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd in a small field at this track on September 3 over 1106m, 1.5 len behind Go West with 56kg at $3.70. The run before that won by 5 len at this track on August 19 over 1106m defeating Star Entertainer carrying 56kg at $3.10. Rates highly. Big chance.
