Kentucky Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
CLASSIC GLIDE (1) is racing well, scoring two back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) before finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1811m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Change of rider to Tyler Gaffalione who has an excellent strike rate when in the saddle, including two wins. Should be hard to stop. PRETTY TAPIT (10) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing sixth over 2414m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) last start. Capable of a lot more. KIAMBA (6) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 2414m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Worth another chance. POOKIE (8) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1811m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) after being in contention on the turn. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is good enough to take this out.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 46-day let-up. Last start 2nd of 7 at Ellis Park Turf on July 19 over 1811m, 0.8 len behind Totally Justified with 53.5kg at $13.67. The run before that won by 2 len at Churchill Downs on June 14 over 1710m defeating Spitfire with 54.5kg at $3.95. Put the writing on the wall last time.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. Most recently 5th of 11 at Colonial Downs Inner Turf on July 31 over 1609m, 2.25 len behind Fond Of You with 54.5kg at $4.40. Before that won by 0.5 len at Colonial Downs Turf on June 26 over 1710m defeating Music Box with 53.5kg at $2.40. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Second-up today. Not raced for 41 days. Last start 3rd of 7 at Ellis Park on July 24 over 1609m, 3 len behind Hearts United carrying 56kg at $2.33.
