Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance

DETERRENT (5) lines up for the first time since February 4. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1207m at Mahoning Valley. Rates highly and should take some beating. TAKE FIVE CHARLIE (6) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 0.8 lengths away in second over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. MACHICO MADEIRA (3) lifted strongly to score last time with half a length to spare over 1106m at this track (Dirt), making it two in a row. Has a high cruising speed. Capable of testing this field. KICKSTART (4) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) over 1207m. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Well placed to make amends.
