Thistledown Race 6

Allowance

Stake: $73,268

STAGE NAME (2) was comfortably accounted for when second last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. That followed a good first-up win at this track. Has raced four times here and has never missed the frame. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. FLIPPING FISH (3) backs up 10 days after he was well-supported at this track (Dirt) and finished second over 1106m. Nice run last time and should prove tough to beat. AFJAN (5) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1609m contest at this track by 3 lengths. Should run very well. MUGSY MALONE (1) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 8 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a bold race.

Racing well. At the latest run came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on June 22 over 1106m, 1.0 len behind Ian Glass carrying 55kg at $1.80. The race before that 3rd in a small field at this track on May 29 over 1207m, 1.5 len behind Ian Glass carrying 56kg at $1.90. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
