Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
COOL COUPLE (2) Made considerable ground when 2nd last time at the track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Has run into the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation. Suitably placed in this race. DRURY LANE (6) Made every post a winner when winning by just short of 11L last run around here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Can win. VODKA N GINGERALE (3) First up and ran over the top of them when winning first up last preparation at Churchill Downs. Anthony Y Nunez and John Steve Cannon are a strong team. One to watch closely and a legitimate knockout hope. KONTEEKEE (10) Below par performance when 7th last run at Oaklawn Park. Luis Antonio Gonzalez and Kim A Puhl demand respect when they team up. Always seems to find the line well. Chance in this field so include in exotics.
