Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance

JIMMY RULES (2) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 6 lengths victory over 1207m at this track (Dirt) a month ago. Hard to knock and should go well again. JUPITER (6) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1408m at Mountaineer Park Turf after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. WIN ME OVER (3) finished second last time out over this course and distance, travelling towards the tail before winding up strongly in the closing stages. Solid top-three prospects. BRICK AMBUSH (4) just missed last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Can measure up.
