Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
RIPMAN (1) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1106m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BOAZ (4) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 0.8 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with L A Batista who was on board last start. Can go right on with the job now. RASCAL FLASH (7) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark four runs back, the latest effort a third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Mauro Cedillo sticks. Sure to be competitive. EL MEXICANO (5) won his maiden six starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Going too well to leave out.

At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at this track on April 23 over 1106m, 6 len behind National Story with 54kg at $13. The run before that second last of 7 at Mahoning Valley on March 23 over 1207m, 7 len behind Stormed Out with 56kg at $9.40. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
