Thistledown Race 5

Mdn Special Weight

Prize Money: $36,820

CANDY SPRINKLES (2) settled back on debut last start then made a dash forward before the turn and stuck on well to finish second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has plenty of upside and she shouldn't be a maiden for long. PROUD WORDS (1) is a 13-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth after being prominent at the corner at her latest appearance over 1408m at Charles Town (Dirt). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. JOHANNA'S LIFE (4) is facing the starter for the first time. By City Of Light and is out of the Johanna Urieta stable. Respect any positive move in betting. ROUGHNTHEPASSENGER (7) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in second over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Improver worth including.

Returns from a 48-day let-up. Most recently 5th of 7 at Charles Town on April 30 over 1408m, 3 len behind Amendment carrying 57kg at $11.90. The run before that settled back and ran on when 5th of 8 at Charles Town on April 9 over 1308m, 16 len behind Belle Ofthe Wood carrying 57kg at $21. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Was well in the market at debut, 2nd in a small field at this track on May 26 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Shezthefactor carrying 54kg at $4.20. Encouraging signs on debut and another big run is likely.

Second-up. First-up after six months 4th in a small field at this track on May 26 over 1207m, 12 len behind Shezthefactor with 54kg at $8.40. Previously second-up 3rd in a small field at this track on September 10 over 1106m, 2.75 len behind Tiz Mia with 54kg at $3.10. Should progress from that first-up run.

Was at big odds at debut, ran last in a small field at this track on May 26 over 1207m, 14 len behind Shezthefactor with 56kg at $40.80. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.
