Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

REDDEN (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just three wins from 31 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has the class to feature in the finish. LITTLE SHANCE (1) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on September 29 over 1106m when he scored by 3 lengths. Nicely placed to add to the outstanding run of form. MY VALENTINO (3) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in the firing line on the corner before finishing third over 1207m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. DOUBLE AGENT (5) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1207m at this track, finishing 3 lengths from the winner. Ticks all the right boxes.
