Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
MALEAH (3) First up after a 33 week break. Led all the way to win by 4 3/4L last time at Belterra Park and form has been improving over recent runs. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. ILLUMINATE (1) Made considerable ground when 2nd beaten by 4 3/4L last time at the track and strong performer at this trip in the past. Hard to dismiss. SMALL TOWN GOSSIP (6) First up from a break of 29 weeks and finished with purpose when winning first up last preparation here. Taking on easier opposition. Can measure up to this company. EXALTADA (4) Resuming after a spell of 27 weeks. Was well beaten when 7th last start at Mahoning Valley but facing less formidable opponents. Can go through the gears. Keep an eye on the market for any leads.

Solid run when placing 2nd beaten by 4 3/4L last time at this track and hard to fault at the distance. Gets a favourable alley. Up against tougher rivals. Holds a major chance.

Fresh today after a break. Mediocre display when 6th last run at Mahoning Valley but facing a weaker group of contenders. First start for a new trainer. Considerable improvement needed.

Displayed good finishing speed when 2nd last time at this venue but competing in a higher grade. Alexander Chavez is a plus. Exhibiting good form since resuming from a break. Could not recommend in this.
