Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance

BOOTS MALONE (3) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at today's track and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up run. Tackling an easier race so he is sure to prove hard to beat again. VDAYTOTHETENACIOUS (4) is racing well. Scored at this track (Dirt) two back then finished third, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt) at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Winning rider Luis A Gonzalez stays aboard. Sure to play a big role. EXCITEMENT (2) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1207m at this track, clocking in 6 lengths from the winner. Has a sound record here with seven wins and six minor placings from 19 starts. Deserves serious consideration. BOLD BUCKEYE (5) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat.
