Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance

RHYTHM 'N BLUES (7) returned to winning form last start, scoring by 4 lengths over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins and a placing. Expected to measure up. MOREAU (2) was safely held when second last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SWEET AS SIN (5) scored by a nose last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after he was in the firing line on the corner. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring three times from six starts. Strong record with Luis Raul Rivera aboard, including two wins. Has winning claims on best figures. CAPO LUCA (3) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 6 lengths. Luis A Gonzalez who has four wins when partnering stays on. Must be respected.
