Thistledown Race 3

Prize Money: $39,943

WILLING N ABLED (4) debuted with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1106m at Hawthorne Turf, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. WHISKEY POINT (1) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the top three here in six starts. Sure to go well. DISTANT GALAXY (2) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second when he made late ground at the end of 1207m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. PRINCETON (3) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 4 lengths. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders.

Racing well recently. At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 8 at this track on August 12 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Blake James with 53.5kg at $3.60. The run before that 3rd of 9 at this track on July 28 over 1207m, 7 len behind Jimmy Rules carrying 54kg at $3. Only has a small field to contend with and looks hard to beat.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by 4 len at this track on August 12 over 1207m defeating Exodus with 54kg at $2.50. The race before that ran second last in a small field at this track on July 15 over 1609m, 12 len behind Reb carrying 54kg at $7.30. Racing well and can win again.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at this track on June 8 over 1106m defeating Whiskey Point with 54kg at $1.80. Last start ran second last in a small field at Hawthorne Turf on July 19 over 1106m, 6 len behind Urban Ruler with 54kg at $3.30. Capable of a better showing. Respect.

Recent form sound. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at this track on August 12 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Blake James with 54kg at $7.50. Before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track on July 28 over 1207m, 6 len behind Jimmy Rules carrying 54kg at $17.90. Definite chance in this small line-up.
