Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance

MACHICO MADEIRA (6) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in the firing line on the bend before finishing fourth over 1207m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. LEAVETHENINETYNINE (1) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Likely to be there at the finish again. SUN OF WAR (3) is a talented colt who was well held last time out in the tougher race won by Mark My Words over 1308m at Belterra Park, beaten 11 lengths into seventh. Has been in strong form this campaign, registering two wins. Capable of going well. RUN VINICIUS (4) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 21 lengths into ninth. Nicely placed to find some form.

Second run back. First-up after seven months ran last in a small field at this track on May 12 over 1207m, 5 len behind Mr Bali with 53.5kg at $3.90. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by a nose at this track October 3 over 1106m defeating Mr Riffle carrying 53.5kg at $2.90. Fitter and worth including.
