Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
CHANNEL FURY (2) Resumes from a 30 week spell. Finished well when 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last time at the track and gets a favourable barrier. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . JOHN'S ROCK (6) Finished well when 3rd last run at Mahoning Valley. Jockey Fernando Salazar Becerra and trainer Caryn Vecchio are a pair that can't be ignored. Gets a chance to win. MORE LOVE (1) First up after a break. Kept chasing when 3rd beaten by 5L last start at Tampa Bay Downs and can save some energy from the draw. Keep in mind. FAT DADDY (4) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run at this track and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Will be hitting the line strongly. Can't knock.
