Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance

MR LOOOCH (1) finished fifth over 1207m in Listed grade at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on November 25. Has recorded two wins when first up from a break. One of the genuine hopes in the race. FACT NOT FICTION (6) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 4 lengths when resuming last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). In a suitable race and can play a major role. SWEET AS SIN (3) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when third over 1207m at this track, beaten 9 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. WILDCAT EXPRESS (2) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
