Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance

TAKE FIVE CHARLIE (5) was narrowly beaten at his latest appearance at this track (Dirt) over 1207m eight months ago. Expect him to play a major role. GONE WILD (7) started this preparation with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when second over 1207m at Mahoning Valley, beaten 8 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Likely improver with strong prospects. AFLOAT (4) is a progressive four-year-old gelding who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) on November 18. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Has to be included. RUN VINICIUS (6) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1609m at this track six-and-a-half months ago. C P Pilares has been the pilot at his last two wins. One of the better hopes.
