Thistledown Race 2

Prize Money: $42,296

SAMMY'S SMILE (4) was prominent at the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1609m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. LUCKY STREAK (2) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. CRYPTO COPY (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MASTER OF WAR (3) ran below his best last start when beaten 16 lengths into ninth from a wide draw over today's course and distance. Among the better chances.

Useful type. At the latest run 4th in a small field at this track on June 10 over 1609m, 5 len behind First Song with 55kg at $3.40. The race before that eased back early on second last in a small field at this track on May 18 over 1207m, 7 len behind Excitement carrying 56kg at $8.90. Safely held last start but is capable of better.

Resumes off a 44 day let-up. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at this track on May 14 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind Smokin' Hot carrying 54kg at $3.60. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd in a small field at Mahoning Valley on April 9 over 1207m, nose behind Poseidon's Son carrying 56kg at $7.70.

Racing well. Most recently ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 7 at this track on June 4 over 1106m, 3 len behind Powerful Moon with 54kg at $18.60. Before that 2nd of 7 at this track on May 22 over 1106m, nose behind Stay Thirsty Amigo carrying 56kg at $2.30. Sure to be competitive with so few opponents.
