Thistledown Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance

CANDLELIGHT HOURS (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1207m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can get the chocolates. LIONISTIC (6) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fifth, beaten 10 lengths, over 1207m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. VESPERA (4) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second, beaten 2 lengths. Nicely placed to go one better. UNCHAINED SPIRIT (7) is ready to win after she just missed last time, beaten half a length into second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track on September 24 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Belle Bottoms with 53kg at $5.60. The start before that ran second last in a small field at this track on September 2 over 1207m, 3 len behind Austrian Navy with 54kg at $7.40. Doesn't need to improve much to play a big role.
