Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance

EXCITEMENT (4) returned from a break of four months and finished second over this course and distance last time out. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best figures should see him run well. DREAM ON BABY (1) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. RUFFIN (5) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a fifth at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 3.5 lengths as public elect last time out after being in contention on the bend over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. BOLD BUCKEYE (3) is having his first run since December 4. Has a strong record when fresh with two wins from two runs, the most recent over 1207m at this track at the start of last prep. Solid top-three hope.
