Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Claiming
MAZARN (3) Kept chasing when 3rd last run at Mountaineer Park. The large claim from Jefferson Skerrett should help. Will give a big sight. AIR SAHARA (6) Was found wanting late when 4th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Luis Antonio Gonzalez and Kim A Puhl make an imposing pair. Looks a great place bet. GAMAY (1) Well beaten when 6th last start here but will appreciate a good gate. This field suits. COOKIE TIME (5) First up today. Peaked on the run when 5th last start at Churchill Downs. Coming to a new trainer. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Not out of this.

Started $18.00 and tired towards the finish when 4th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Jockey Luis Antonio Gonzalez and trainer Kim A Puhl are usually competitive together. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.
