Thistledown Race 1

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: $33,592

SWEEPING GIANT (1) Picked up late to win last run around here and hard to fault at the trip. Undefeated last 2 starts and has a nice advantage with a good barrier. Go close. PANTHERA'S FATE (5) Right up there last start around here but facing a stronger group of contenders. Coming to a new trainer. Has plenty of early speed. Definite winning chance. DR JACK FLYER (3) Didn't find the line when 6th last time at this track. Has the potential to improve sharply. Shows good early pace. Jockey Victor R Fernandez has been successful aboard previously. One of the hopes. STAR SHOPPING (4) Lost ground in the run home when 4th last time here but returning to an increased distance. Jockey Angel I Diaz is in top form for this stable. Worth some thought.
