Thistledown Race 6

Mdn Special Weight

Stake: -

TAP DANCING DAN (3) 3yo first starter sired by Botswana Taps for trainer Shane Meyers. Follow the money. RIVERS RUN FAST (8) Zipped home into 2nd last time at this track. Racing for a new trainer. Winnable race. MY PAISAN (5) Set a strong tempo before tiring to place 3rd last start around here. Should muster plenty of early speed. Can push an each way bet for it. BASOVAK STAR (6) Overtook some late when 5th last time at the track. Worth an each way investment.

First up from a 65 week break. Started $16.00 and looked outclassed when 5th last time at Belterra Park but drawn the rails. First start for a new trainer. Has some claims.

Kept running on late when 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last start here and has a good draw. Should muster plenty of early toe. Marginal contender.

Started $18.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 5th last time around here. Might have to make up considerable ground. Have to look elsewhere.

Couldn't maintain the momentum throughout when 3rd beaten by more than 10L last start at this track. Shows good early pace. Could take this out.
