Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
STRING OCTET (1) Dominant winner by 5 1/2L last time around here and gets a favourable barrier. Jockey Chelsey Keiser and trainer David Wolochuk link up well. Has early speed and positions nicely. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. LITTLE SHANCE (2) Good run when finishing 2nd beaten by more than 3L last start at the track and showing consistent performance in races. In good condition this campaign and drawn nicely. A win wouldn't surprise. SGT YORK (7) Folded up in the straight when 5th last run at this venue. Happy to forgive that run. Has a great burst of speed late. Could pose a threat and looks promising. TAKE FIVE CHARLIE (5) Made up ground when 4th last start at Keeneland. Walter A Rodriguez and Wesley A Ward make an imposing pair. Not out of this.
