Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
PIPSY CHICK (12) 2yo first starter sired by Connect for trainer Robert M Gorham. Watch betting. ABOUT THAT TIME (2) Racing as a debutant 2yo by Nyquist for Brendan P Walsh and has drawn to do little work. Betting as a guide. TULSI (3) Good effort when placing 2nd last start around here and having second career run. Has a positive draw. Respect against this field. INSIDE JOKE (10) Was strong late when 3rd last run around here and was a debutant last start. Jockey Erik Barbaran and trainer Robert M Gorham are a strong combination. A win wouldn't surprise.

Made some ground late when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last start at the track and fitter for debut run. Gets a favourable draw. Good chance at a nice price.

Started $5.00 and unimpressive effort when 4th last start around here but having second career run. Should race on the speed. Will be tested in this.

Started at $5.00 and struggled with the pace when 8th last time here but having second career run. Likely to get back. Very unlikely to cause an upset.

Started at $12.00 and faded to finish 8th last start at this venue. Change in trainer. Yet to fire this campaign. Would rather look at others.

Jumped at $7.50 and closed off nicely when 4th last start around here. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Place claims.

Odds of $28.00 and showed some merit late when 5th last time around here and having second career run. Gets back and needs luck. Entitled to be a big price.

Was amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run here and was on debut last time. Jockey Erik Barbaran and trainer Robert M Gorham are usually competitive together. Must respect.
