Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
ROYCE (5) Put in a competitive run when placing 2nd last run at Belterra Park and returns to a longer distance. Has early speed and positions nicely. Good career start. Must be considered. NYDINI (3) Just shy of the win last time at the track and showing improvement in recent outings. Jockey Chelsey Keiser and trainer David Wolochuk are a strong team. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. PRINCETON (1) Lost ground in the run home when 4th last start here. Has the potential to improve sharply and drawn the rails. Luis Antonio Gonzalez consistently performs well for this stable. One of the hopes. OTZELBERGER (2) Resuming after a break. Below par performance when 5th last start at Keeneland but has a good draw. First appearance for a new trainer. Has a nice turn of foot. Keep in mind. Something for the Multiples: REB (6)

Was $5.50 and folded up in the straight when 4th last start around here. Has the potential to improve sharply and has minimal work to do from the barrier. Watch early betting.

Competed in a tight contest last time here and form has been improving over recent runs. Chelsey Keiser and David Wolochuk are a strong team. Strong claims.

Jumped at $36.00 and was well beaten when 5th last time at Churchill Downs. Does take a while to get into stride. Facing a difficult task.
