Thistledown Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming

SECRET CALLER (1) Lost ground in the run home when 6th last time around here. Is capable of a resurgence and has drawn the rails. Jockey Humberto Haldar is a plus. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. MY VALENTINO (7) First run back from a break. Was competitive when 3rd last run at Mahoning Valley but racing against tougher rivals. Displays good tactical speed. In the mix. RIVER BYE (4) Disappointing effort when 7th last start around here and taking on stronger competition. Jockey Luis Antonio Gonzalez and trainer Kim A Puhl have a solid working relationship. Will be competitive. BALKI BARTOKOMOUS (8) Couldn't maintain the pace when 5th last time at the track. Looking past the last run. Should muster plenty of early toe. Looks to be value.

Started $5.50 and was well beaten when 6th last time at the track. Is capable of a resurgence and gets a favourable draw. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Should go well.

Back from a break. Was $18.00 and uncompetitive when 5th last time at the track but will try to take advantage of the draw. Entitled to be a big price.

Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time here but competing in a more challenging class. Should jump out and bowl along. Very tidy performer.

At $16.00 disappointing outing when 7th last start at this venue and up against tougher rivals. Keep safe for your exotics.

Odds of $18.00 and moved through the field into 4th last run at this venue but testing ability against stronger contenders. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Much prefer the look of others in this race.

First up. Tidy effort when 3rd last run at Mahoning Valley but facing formidable rivals. Jockey Erik Barbaran and trainer Marco Ibarra deserve respect as a team. Solid claims.
