Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
VDAYTOTHETENACIOUS (3) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in the firing line on the bend before finishing third over 1207m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has the class to find the winners' list. BOLD BUCKEYE (5) was prominent at the corner and finished 1.75 lengths from the winner in second when resuming last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance. Form over this journey is strong, boasting five wins from 10 starts. Jose A Bracho who has five wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. EXCITEMENT (2) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1207m at this track. Ticks all the right boxes. DREAM ON BABY (1) finished 3 lengths behind the winner in third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be thereabouts.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at this track on June 15 over 1207m, 1.5 len behind Boots Malone carrying 56kg at $3.60. The start before that came from midfield and won by 1.75 len at this track May 25 over 1207m defeating Playing For Keeps with 54kg at $1.30. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.

He is resuming after a nine weeks break. Not seen since winning by nose this track April 22 over 1207m defeating Frosty Paws with 54kg at $10.40. On debut second of 8 at Mahoning Valley October 29 2024 over 1106m, 4 len behind Take Five Charlie with 55.5kg at $21.20. Looks tested without a run under the belt.

Returns from a 36-day let-up. At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track on May 20 over 1207m, 4 len behind Go West with 54kg at $8.90. The race before that ran second last in a small field at this track on May 2 over 1106m, 4.5 len behind Wauhatchie carrying 54.5kg at $2.60. Happy enough to avoid.
