Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance

BOOTS MALONE (5) was on a winning run of two races but last time out missed the frame when fifth over 1207m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Leading contender. FORTISSIMO (1) is a six-time winner who has been performing well, beaten 3 lengths into third last time out over 1207m at this track. Races well here and expected to figure in the finish. EMPIRE'S FIRE (2) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent effort a second at Listed level at this track (Dirt) over 1207m when he was beaten 2.75 lengths. Form here at this trip reads eight wins from 14 starts. One to consider. STAGE NAME (6) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1207m at this track. Goes well at this journey with eight wins from 18 starts. Major contender.
