Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

WISE WORDS (4) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start second at this track (Dirt) over 1609m when beaten a nose. This looks a nice race for him to return to the winners' stall. POLIZON (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing second and only a nose from the winner at the end of 1106m. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. LOOKIN LIKE LUCKY (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1106m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. IT'S LAST CALL (5) turned in another moderate effort last start when 5 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1106m at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
