Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MR PENNY PINCHER (3) built on a nice third two starts back at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) with success as favourite over 1207m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. R Feliciano scored on him last time and retains the ride. Looks well placed so expect another big run. VODKA N GINGERALE (1) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. HANDSOME PANTS (4) is racing well. Scored at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) two back then finished third, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt) at the latest appearance three-and-a-half weeks ago. Winning rider Becerra Fernando Salazar stays aboard. Should be involved in the finish. WITHOUT OBJECTION (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on March 14, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Worth plenty of thought.

Second-up. First-up after eight months scored a big 4 len win at this track May 16 over 1106m defeating Picaro with 54kg at $6. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at this track on October 7 over 1207m, 3 len behind Konteekee carrying 53.5kg at $2.70. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Racing well recently. Most recently sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at this track on May 19 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Mr Penny Pincher carrying 55kg at $9. The race before that scored a big 6 len win at Mahoning Valley March 24 over 1609m defeating Judge Rules carrying 56kg at $2.10. Genuine hope on best form.
