Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
SWEET AS SIN (1) wasn't far away last time out, finishing fifth over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Worth following up. EDDIE M (2) improved last start when he did his best work late to finish second over 1609m at Mahoning Valley. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. CAPO LUCA (5) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when sixth, beaten 11 lengths, over this journey at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Has a solid record at this course and distance, including four wins. The engagement of Luis A Gonzalez is a positive move. This doesn't look as hard so he is set to turn things around. SILENCE (7) missed the frame last time when seventh at Mahoning Valley. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions. J Skerrett has registered two minor placings when on board. One of the better hopes.
