Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
TROUBLE OR NOTHIN (3) On a short back up. Didn't attack the line when 6th last run here. Should improve from the last run and returns to more ground. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Will go close today. AXCEL (2) Fresh today. Weakened under pressure when 6th last time around here. Happy to overlook that run and drawn nicely. Back to a longer distance. Stepping up to a higher level. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. RUNNINGONHIGHLEVEL (1) Struggled with the pace when 8th last start at the track. Has the ability to turn things around and going back up in trip. Will appreciate a good gate. Fights on bravely so consider. SKIBIDI RIZZ (5) Came in 5th last run at the track but returns to a rise in trip. Shows good early pace. Taking on stronger opponents. Honest and strong place bet in this race.

Racing fresh today after a break. Didn't find the line when 6th last time at the track. Happy to overlook that run and going back up in distance. Good winning chance.

On a quick turnaround. Odds of $9.50 and folded up in the straight when 6th last run around here. Should improve from the last run and back over extra ground. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Odds of $28.00 and weakened to finish 6th last run at Presque Isle Downs but back over more ground. Coming to a new trainer. Form will be tested here.

Was $14.00 and ran 5th last run at this venue but returning to more ground. Expecting to settle positively. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Tough ask.
