Thistledown Race 7

Allowance

Stake: $67,994

DOCS LEGEND (4) Put together a strong on-speed performance when 3rd last run around here and taking on a lower class of opponents. Will be dropping in distance. Winnable race. SPECTACULAR D'ORO (6) Inched into 5th last time at the track but up against stronger opponents. Jockey Victor R Fernandez and trainer David Wolochuk link well together. Goes close. SADIE'S GHOST (2) Zipped home into 2nd last start at the track and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Likely to be well placed early. Anthony Rodriguez is a suitable booking. Definite claims. DUO (3) Set the pace when winning by a head last start at this venue and lining up against easier rivals. Expecting to settle positively. Back to a shorter trip. Not out of this.

Started at $18.00 and faded to finish 4th last start around here but drawn beautifully. Displays good tactical speed. Up against a more competitive field. Hard to see it being competitive today.

Good effort to run 2nd beaten by 2 3/4L last start at this track and can find a nice position from the draw. Anthony Rodriguez rates highly. Good value.

Set the tempo when winning by a margin of a head last start here and competing in a lower grade. Won't be far away during the run. Could win this.

At $5.50 outpaced some runners late when 5th last time at this track but competing at a higher class. Victor R Fernandez and David Wolochuk must be respected together. Good chance of taking this out.

Strong performance to win by 3/4L last start here and have to respect the form at this trip. Tracking very well this campaign but racing against tougher rivals. Can't recommend.
