Thistledown Race 5

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $51,853

WITHOUT OBJECTION (5) was an impressive winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), leading throughout and putting 3 lengths on his rivals. Luis A Gonzalez who has two wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. SWEET AS SIN (3) did a great job to score by a nose over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SAINT GOAR (1) went forward last start over 1207m at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic) and held on well for third, beaten 2 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. STORMIN'UNCLEJACK (4) did his best work late and got up for third over today's trip at this track (Dirt) last start. Strong chance again.
