Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance

INSTIGATION (4) has seven wins and five minor placings from 13 races this campaign. Found a couple better last start at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) over 1207m after being handy all the way. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. SALTMAKESHERSWEET (2) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing fourth over 1106m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) ten weeks ago. Has a good record here at this journey with three wins and five minor placings from 11 starts. A bold showing is likely. CREDIT CHECK (1) built on a nice second two starts back at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. PARLAY CHARLIE (6) is back from a spell of six-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
