Thistledown Race 3

Prize Money: $21,053

DRAMA'S PRAYER (3) was well fancied last start over 1207m at Monmouth Park (Dirt) when fifth, beaten 8 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. THE RED MAN (1) finds it hard to win with two victories from 32 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1106m at this track. Nicely placed to play a major role. SMALL SAILOR (5) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 12 lengths back in fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Among the chances. TOYI (4) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1106m at this track (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths. Well placed and should be about the money.

The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at this track on May 23 over 1609m, head behind Napa Dude carrying 55kg at $17. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Going well. Comes here off a 43-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 8 at this track on May 21 over 1106m, 4.5 len behind Real Naughty carrying 54kg at $67.30. The run before that 3rd in a small field at this track on May 7 over 1207m, 3 len behind O Romeo with 55kg at $17.40. Likely to play a big role.
