Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance

LIGHTNING SPEED (2) scored a dirt track win two back over 1609m at this track then followed up with a minor placing on turf over 1710m at Belterra Park Turf most recently. Generally goes well here. Sure to go well. ESTOICO (1) pushed forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ROLLIN IN SPIDERS (6) was a most impressive maiden winner over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time out, scoring by 6 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with David J Haldar who was on board last start. This is tougher but he is capable of another big run. RUN BOBBY RUN (9) was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run won by 6 len at this track July 8 over 1609m defeating Low Standards carrying 54.5kg at $2.30. The start before that 2nd of 9 at this track on June 3 over 1609m, 0.3 len behind Lightning Speed with 54kg at $31.10. No reason he cannot build on that success.
