Thistledown Race 3

Allowance

Stake: $64,498

OVID (6) is yet to taste defeat in two starts, the latest when resuming from a spell over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Effortless winner last start and is a winning hope again. HIDDEN RANSOM (1) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success as public elect over 1106m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ROMANIAN PRINCE (5) continues to race well this time in work, the latest effort a solid second over 1207m at this track. E Paucar who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Expected to measure up. JUDY'S COMET (4) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1609m at Mahoning Valley nine weeks ago. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the better hopes.
