Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

MISS SPRINGSTEEN (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the turn. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. EMERSON JONES (1) last appeared when she finished fourth over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) on February 8 2025. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. CALI CRUISER (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HOLLABACK (5) struggling to break through and over a year since a win, last start finishing third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Hasn't won here but has gone close with four places from eight runs and gets chance to feature.
