Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
EXODUS (4) Outgunned at the finish when 2nd last run around here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Will be positive in the run early. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. K'S UNRULY NEWELLY (1) 3yo by Father Nelson racing as a debutant for Joseph Musarro and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Alexander Chavez is a smart booking. Watch the betting. CAPTAIN CARNEY (2) Tailed off to finish 5th last start at this venue. Likely to bounce back and gets a favourable alley. Shows good early pace. Has to be included. KUKUK (6) First up after a break. Managed to run 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last run at this venue and getting better in recent performances. Goes close.

3yo first starter sired by Father Nelson for Joseph Musarro and can save some energy from the gate. Jockey Alexander Chavez rates highly aboard. Follow the money.

At $3.60 weakened to finish 5th last start here. Likely to bounce back and drawn nicely. Has plenty of early speed. Strong claims in this.

Was $23.00 and didn't threaten when 5th last start around here. Likely to get back. Hard to recommend.

Big effort to finish 2nd beaten by 4L last run here and solid career start. Likely to be well placed early. Very capable of taking this out.

Back from a break. Caught the eye when 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last run at the track and showing improvement in recent outings. Value play.

Started at $12.00 and moved ahead of some to finish 4th last time at the track. Shows very good finishing speed. Will not be far away.
