Thistledown Race 8

Mdn Claiming

Stake: -

OAK MIRNA (6) Was well beaten when 6th last start at this track. Looking past the last run. Will be trying to topple them late. Jockey Humberto Haldar is highly regarded. No surprise to see a win. DESTINY'S TOT (3) Improved late to finish 5th last time at this venue. Has very good closing speed. Alexander Chavez adds value. Strong chance. TRUSTTHEFACT (4) Back from a break. Moderate showing when 9th last time at this venue and has to cope with a weight increase. Likely threat. PLEASURE PEARL (1) Ran 4th last time here but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Will be positive in the run early. The large claim from Jefferson Skerrett helps. Don't leave out of trifectas and watch market moves closely.

Started at $8.00 and finished 4th last time at this track but will appreciate a good alley. Should be going forward early. Large claim helps. Will be a difficult assignment.

Was $103.00 and fairly underwhelming when 7th last run at Mountaineer Park but will try to take advantage of the alley. First start for a new trainer. Prefer a race with softer competition.

Started $18.00 and passed some rivals in the late stages when 5th last time at the track. Has a great burst of speed late. Alexander Chavez is a smart booking. Will be competitive.

Resuming after a spell. Started at $16.00 and clearly outclassed when 9th last time around here and has more weight to carry. Nice price for the value seekers.

Odds of $18.00 and faded away to finish 6th last start at this venue. Looking past the last run. Jockey Humberto Haldar is a strong choice aboard. Should put in a decent effort.
