Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance

MOREAU (5) scored by 6 lengths over this distance at this track (Dirt) last time out. Form here strong boasting seven wins from 13 starts. Likely to feature. CAPO LUCA (1) made progress last start to finish third over 1609m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to find winning ways. CHIRON (3) had been in top form landing three consecutive wins but last start missed the frame when seventh over 1710m in stakes class at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Better than last run suggests - can atone. RHYTHM 'N BLUES (4) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for second. Has a great record at this journey with two wins from four starts and is among the main hopes.
