Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance

OLIVERIO (4) showed good pace and went on to score by 6 lengths last time out over 1710m at Hawthorne (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. KNOCK WOOD (5) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when he was always up in the leading division. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. WETZEL (2) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 1609m, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. OVID (3) ran a better race last start to finish fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Stepping up in distance this time and is worth consideration.
