Thistledown Race 7

Claiming

Stake: $36,164

RAMBLER (1) has recently experienced fluctuating luck. Failed to complete the course at this track last start which followed a solid second over 1106m at this track the run prior. Likely to return to the strong form we saw two runs back. IRONCLAD ALIBI (5) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. DRILL'S BOY (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 12 lengths when eighth in a 1207m contest at this track seven weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. ROLLIN MY WAY (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Likely improver with strong prospects.
