Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance

MAGICAL MONARCH (6) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 1.3 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. WE NEED A FAVOR (5) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 2 lengths. Re-unites with Rocco Bowen who was on board last start. Sure to prove tough to beat again with that win now under his belt. THUNDERIAN (2) made progress last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1609m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BRICK AMBUSH (3) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
