Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
EXCITEMENT (7) Romped home to win last time around here. Rocco Bowen and Timothy E Hamm are consistently competitive when paired. Will be trying to topple them late. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. GUNNER GABRIEL (6) First up and was outmatched at the end of the race when 3rd first up last preparation at Mahoning Valley. Fernando Salazar Becerra is a key booking. Back in trip. Will be around the mark at odds. EAGLE NEST (1) Finished 6th last start at this venue. Happy to forgive that run and has minimal work to do from the stall. At least a place chance. PLATINUM GHOST (3) Resuming after a break. In the money when 2nd last time at Mahoning Valley. Jockey Luis Raul Rivera and trainer Shane Meyers are a combination worth following. Can be competitive.
