Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming

MR. PENNY PINCHER (5) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 0.8 lengths away in third at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. TRICKY TIGER (7) finished fifth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time out following a determined win two back. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. THRU THE VINE (6) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten 0.3 lengths into second over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Mauro Cedillo. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. WE NEED A FAVOR (2) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be there at the finish again. Something for the Multiples: HANDSOME PANTS (3)
