Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance

INVICTUS (1) proved too strong two runs ago at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Safely held last time out when sixth over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 5 lengths. Has the talent to take care of this field. MELLIFLUOUS (3) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 4 lengths as favourite last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MORODER (4) dug deep to score two runs back then was beaten 8 lengths into fourth over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time four weeks ago. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. SAVING HEART (5) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a nose away in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts.
