Thistledown Race 3

Maiden Claiming

Stake: $31,744

BLUE BLOOD COWBOY (2) was prominent into the straight last time but faltered late to finish fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. TRUTH N SOUL (3) is a maiden with three minor placings to his name. Could not improve on that record when resuming last start, winding up in seventh over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Placed at his only other second up appearance. Solid top-three prospects. HIDDEN HEART (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 26 lengths when fifth over 1207m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Nicely placed to take this out. EL MEXICANO (4) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 7 lengths back in fifth over 1106m at Belterra Park (Dirt). Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
