Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
COASTLAND (5) scored by 0.8 lengths last start at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) over this distance after he was prominent at the corner. Has a fine winning strike-rate over this journey with three wins from four starts. Should be prominent from the outset. Best figures should see him run well. SPIRIT OF AKRON (1) safely held last start when beaten 11 lengths into fifth over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Major player on best form. STORMED OUT (4) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by half a length over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. ESTOICO (3) resumes after a break of four-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1106m at this track. Top-three claims.

Last start second last in a small field at Mahoning Valley on April 10 over 1207m, 11 len behind Midnight Warship with 56kg at $5.80. Before that held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Mahoning Valley on March 23 over 1207m, 0.6 len behind Dark Vader with 56kg at $8.40. Capable of more – worth another chance.
