Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
TIZ MAGNIFICENT (5) brings the clearest platform with two 2nds at 1207m last prep, including Mahoning Valley when racing on speed, and looks well placed fresh. SHEZTHEFACTOR (3) rates a key danger after a last-start 2nd over 1106m at Hawthorne and prior solid turf efforts at longer trips. GAGA'S GIRL (7) has a recent 3rd at Tampa Bay Downs over 1207m and drops from a tougher Churchill Downs MSW. PROUD WORDS (6) has multiple recent placings and can be around the mark back to this trip.
