Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
GAMAY (7) Made some ground late when 3rd beaten by 2 1/2L last start around here. Performing honestly this campaign. Looks a winning hope. VADORA (3) Hit the line well when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last run at this track. Luis Antonio Gonzalez and Kim A Puhl have a high strike rate together. Won't be far away. SPILL THE DEETS (6) Resumes from a break. Flashed home late into 3rd beaten by close to 11L last time at this track. Should muster plenty of early toe. Looks promising in this race. FLORIDA GAL (1) Fresh after a break. Was outmuscled when 3rd last run at Tampa Bay Downs and gets the perfect barrier. Shows good early pace. Coming to a new trainer. Good chance of threatening these.

First up after a break. Couldn't keep the momentum going throughout when 3rd last run at Tampa Bay Downs and has drawn to do little work. Gets a chance against these.

Was $14.00 and tailed off to finish 7th last start at this venue but gets a favourable draw. Likely to get back in the run. Unlikely to feature.

Ran home into 2nd last run at this track. Jockey Luis Antonio Gonzalez and trainer Kim A Puhl deserve serious attention. Has a great burst of speed late. Chance and can measure up.

Odds of $8.00 and below expectations when 6th last start at this track. Displays good finishing speed. Needs a mighty effort to win this.

At $8.00 gave away some ground when 5th last run at the track. Possesses very good closing speed. Potential to run into a place.

Resuming after a spell. Picked up late ground when 3rd beaten by nearly 11L last time at the track. Has plenty of early speed. Capable of winning this.
