Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance

SHADOWY (1) finished 8 lengths from the winner in fourth last time out in stakes class at this track (Dirt) over 1710m. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring four times from seven starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expected to be in the finish. SIMPLY VALID (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1207m after being prominent from the outset. Has the speed to be prominent from the outset. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BOUDIN (4) went forward when resuming last start and proved too strong, getting home by 3 lengths over 1207m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. GUNNER GABRIEL (3) won at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.

Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 5 len at Mountaineer Park May 6 2024 over 1207m defeating Big Way carrying 54.5kg at $2.80. Big chance to make it back-to-back wins.
