Thistledown Race 6

Claiming

Stake: -

RUMBLE STRIP RON (4) Looked good when 3rd last run here and returning to a rise in trip. The large claim from Jefferson Skerrett helps but facing formidable competition. Will be competitive. GENERAL WINSTON (5) Gave away some ground when 6th last time at this venue. Can make a comeback and returns to more ground. Racing in stronger company. Good prospects. GRAY DAY (2) Finished amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 4L last start at the track and will try to take advantage of the draw. Jockey Erik Barbaran has been successful previously. Will be around the mark at odds. SHAKE THE FROST (7) Was well beaten when 11th last time at the track. Should improve but facing stiffer opposition. Rocco Bowen and Timothy E Hamm deserve serious attention as a team. Could give a show.

Crept into 4th last run at this track and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Always seems to find the line well. Can't entertain a bet.

Odds of $14.00 and weakened under pressure when 7th last time at this track but returning to more ground. Matched against tougher rivals. Likely to be an exotics contender.

Tidy run when 3rd last run here and stepping back up in distance. Large claim helps but stepping up to a higher level. Should go very close.

Started $9.50 and couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last time at this venue. Can make a comeback and returning to an increased distance. Challenged by a tougher grade. Genuine claims.

Started at $23.00 and struggled with the pace when 5th last run at the track and racing against tougher rivals. Needs a mighty effort to win this.
