Thistledown Race 3

Maiden Special Weight

Stake: $57,537

MOONLIGHTER (5) is close to a win at the fourth run back from a spell, the latest effort a second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Likely to feature. LEAVETHENINETYNINE (1) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in the firing line on the turn, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1207m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RUN BOBBY RUN (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fourth over 1207m at this track four weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. PONCHO JAC (2) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Ivan Vazquez. By Lea from Jac A. Good draw a big help. Top-three chance.
