Thistledown Race 2 - Best Of Ohio Cleveland Kindergarten S. Stakes
BOOK VALUE (8) Gave them all something to chase to win by a margin of 5 1/2L last start at Belterra Park but competing in a more challenging class. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects. EMPIRE VYBZ (7) Took charge of the race when winning by 5 1/2L last run here but facing formidable competition. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. BREAKHEART PASS (5) Kicked clear when winning by just over 18L last run here and fitter for debut run. Racing in stronger company. Has the ability to take this out. SNITCH (1) Managed to run 2nd beaten by 5 1/2L last run here and fitter for debut run. Has a nice advantage with a good draw. Racing against tougher rivals. Can go on with it.

Made considerable ground when 2nd last run around here and was a debutant last start. Has drawn to do little work. Competing in a higher grade. Watch the market moves.

Was $6.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 4th last time at this track but having second race start. Should come to hand quickly. Drawn nicely. Hard to warm to.

Honest run on the speed before fading to finish 3rd last time at Belterra Park but taking on stronger opponents. Can run into the placings.
