Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance

ECHO VALLEY (4) has two wins and three minor placings from five runs this preparation. Found a couple better last start at Listed level at Belterra Park (Dirt) over 1710m. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is a major player. PERFECT ANGEL (5) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1207m at this track. Should be in this for a long way. SALUTE THE KID (7) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1106m at this track, beaten 21 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. MIESHA (6) improved last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in second over 1106m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.

Resuming after a break of four months. Finished off last preparation second in a small field at Mahoning Valley March 30 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Kingdom Trails carrying 56kg at $2. First up last campaign fifth of 10 at Turfway Park January 16 2025 over 1308m, 6 len behind Purr Factor carrying 54.5kg at $7.02. This looks a stern test.
