Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance

SAVING HEART (5) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when he was in the firing line all the way. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MELLIFLUOUS (4) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 7 lengths, over 1106m at this track (Dirt). A repeat of the latest effort will see him in the finish again. CALL SHADD (7) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 5.5 lengths win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time. Should be ridden forward again and shapes as one to consider. DRURY LANE (6) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the turn. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Nicely placed to turn things around.

Form hard to fault. Most recently got back early 3rd in a small field at this track on June 29 over 1106m, 7 len behind Invictus with 56kg at $14.60. The run before that came from midfield and scored a big 4 len win at this track June 3 over 1207m defeating Blake James carrying 54kg at $2.20. Genuine contender.

At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track on July 13 over 1609m, 0.3 len behind Skibidi Rizz with 54kg at $2.50. The start before that won by 1.5 len at this track June 24 over 1207m defeating Eileen's Desperado carrying 54kg at $2.30. Close-up last start but this looks a stretch.
