Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming
RICHIESGOTGAME (6) Made no mistakes when winning by 7L last start here. Angel I Diaz and Nestor R Rivera are an imposing duo. Shows very good finishing speed. Hard to overlook. KADESH (1) Got going late when 4th last run at this venue and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Luis A Rodriguez Castro is a bonus. Looks to be value. DEEP FAITH (2) Controlled the pace when winning by a margin of a nose last run around here and can find a nice position from the draw. Going well this campaign. One of the hopes. ONLY GET'N BETTER (4) Made a mess of them when winning by 6L last time at the track and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Not hopeless.
