Thistledown Race 6

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $51,835

AFFAIR TO REMEMBER (4) has accrued five minor placings from six runs this campaign. Turned in another good performance at his most recent run when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after he was always up in the leading division. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WILLIE T (1) is still a maiden after three runs. Was one of the favoured runners last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after he got a long way back in the run. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. SHADOW STRIKE (6) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1106m at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Has plenty of upside so he is among the leading chances. TAKE DICTATION (2) improved last start to finish third over 1609m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
