Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
ISA FORTRESS (8) Picked up late ground when 2nd last run at the track but will be down in distance. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . FABULOUS SONG (2) Caught the eye when 3rd last run at this venue and can find a nice position from the draw. Should be swooping on the field late. Good prospects. O SUGAR SUGAR (5) Faded away to finish 6th last run at the track. May see an upturn in form. Displays good tactical speed. Goes close. ALL THAT SASS (1) Tailed off to finish 6th last time at the track. Is capable of a resurgence and will appreciate a good draw. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Open to improvement and has a show in this field.

Came on strongly to finish 3rd when beaten by 8L last run here and has a positive barrier. Possesses good closing speed. Will be facing a significant drop in distance. Can take this out.

Started $12.00 and chased well when 5th last time here. Jeffrey A Radosevich has been training plenty of winners recently. Might be ridden for luck. Can't recommend.

Started $28.00 and was well beaten when 9th last run here. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will be tested in this.
