Thistledown Race 2

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: $35,404

I'LL FIGURE IT OUT (5) lifted strongly to score last time with 1.75 lengths to spare over 1207m at this track (Dirt), making it two in succession. Becerra Fernando Salazar has been the pilot at his last two wins. Leading contender. SMOKIN' HOT (3) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the turn at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths starting at $2.60. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SAHM TEQUILA (2) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Leading player on recent runs. JOKEMEISTER (1) started at $2.10 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 4 lengths, at this track over 1106m. Joam S Toledo who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Don't underestimate.

Useful type. Resumes off a 29 day let-up. Last start failed to make an impression; 6th of 10 at this track on June 3 over 1609m, 7 len behind Kadesh carrying 54kg at $2.60. The run before that came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at this track May 14 over 1207m defeating Lucky Streak with 54kg at $2.90. Capable of more – worth another chance.
