Thistledown Race 8

Claiming

Stake: $29,226

LUCKY STREAK (1) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 0.3 lengths last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MEDIA DARLING (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 22 lengths when sixth in a 1207m contest at this track two weeks ago. Alexander Chavez gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. GIV'EM THE BIZ (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1106m after he gave away a big start on the bend. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. WEEKEND BUZZ (3) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 8 lengths away in third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be about the mark again.
