Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming

PUFF'SMAGICDRAGON (3) Finished 3rd last time at the track but competing in a higher grade. Jockey Erik Barbaran is very comfortable steering. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this campaign. A win wouldn't surprise. ICE BLAST (1) Managed to run into 3rd last start at this track and competing in a less challenging grade. Added confidence jockey with Alexander Chavez doing the steering. Serious player. CARILLO (2) Romped home to win last run at this venue and will be well suited at the distance. Won last 2 on the trot. Should get going late. Needs some luck and is an each way suggestion. PATRIARCHAL (7) Rounded them up when winning last time at the track and has been racing in stronger company. Jockey Jefferson Skerrett and trainer Caryn Vecchio are a strong combination. Won't be far away and represents an each way player.

Led throughout when winning by a margin of 1L last time at this venue and back to an increased distance. Should come to hand quickly. Change in trainer. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.
