Thistledown Race 7

Allowance

Stake: -

MOREAU (4) Ran well when 3rd last start at this venue and have to respect the form at the trip. Won't be far away during the run. Facing formidable rivals. One of the major hopes. SWEET AS SIN (1) Ran on strongly to win last time at this track and drawn the rails. Undefeated last 2 runs but facing a stronger group of contenders. Sure to be thereabouts. CAPO LUCA (3) Rocketed home when winning last start at the track and solid performer at this trip in the past. Expected to be flashing home. Getting better in recent performances. In the mix. MIGHTY LES (2) Did well when 2nd last time around here and drawn nicely. Running with confidence this campaign but up against a more competitive field. Include in chances.

Bold effort when winning last time at this venue and drawn well. On a winning streak the last 2 attempts but challenged by a tougher grade. Likeable type and a major player.

Was competitive when 2nd last time here and has a positive alley. Fernando Salazar Becerra does know the horse very well but competing at a higher class. One that represents value at a decent price.

Stormed home to win last start at the track and suited at this distance in the past. Finishes off strongly. Luis Antonio Gonzalez has been successful previously. Definite winning chance.

Came in 3rd last start around here and ideal trip as proven previously. Has shown early pace in races to date. Jockey Jose A Bracho has been successful previously. Should go close.

Picked up late to win last time here but up against stronger competition. Made it 2 wins on the bounce. Considerable improvement needed.
