Thistledown Race 6

Mdn Special Weight

Prize Money: $48,359

EL NOTIONAL (1) will find this a little easier than his second on debut five weeks ago, beaten 5 lengths at the end of 1006m at this track (Dirt). Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he will be hard to beat. FIRST TIMBER (3) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1006m at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he is worth following up. TOTAL GLORY (6) is appearing for the first time. By Dreamliner and comes from the Yoni R Orantes stable. Expected to feature. BACCHANAL (4) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of J L Radosevich. By Rivers Run Deep from Baccarat. Worth watching for a betting push.
