Fair Grounds Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance
TUSSLING CHARLIE (8) started at $3.40 last time but could only manage sixth, beaten 9 lengths, at this track over 1106m. Should park just off the speed. Will prove tough to beat. MURDOCK (5) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 905m at Hawthorne (Dirt) 21 months ago and has not raced since. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. RESTORE (4) went fast early over 1106m at this track (Turf) last time and defied all challengers to score by one length. Likely improver with strong prospects. UNLEASH THE POWER (7) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. Better than recent efforts suggest.

Entire back from a spell of four months. Has placed previously first up from a break.

Previously first up; seventh of 9 at Woodbine All Weather May 18 over 1106m, 5.5 len behind Go Kart Mozart with 55.5kg at $25.30. Will take a lot from this run but stays under notice.
