Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance
MOTOWN STORY (3) Gave plenty of cheek when 3rd last run at Mahoning Valley and showing consistent performance in races. Should muster plenty of early toe. Stepping up to a higher level. One of the major players. LITTLE VALUE ADDED (1) Closed off nicely when 4th last run at Mahoning Valley and has minimal work to do from the draw. Facing stiffer opposition. No shock to see a win. NAME DROPPER (7) First up from a 33 week spell. Ran 3rd last time at Presque Isle Downs. Jockey Rocco Bowen is in form for this stable. Worth strong consideration. ACADEMIC FREEDOM (6) Fresh after a spell. Charged home to win last run at Mahoning Valley. Displays good closing speed. Looks to be value.

Was $4.00 and ran on into 4th last run at Mahoning Valley and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Matched against tougher rivals. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Started $11.00 and tailed off to finish 5th last run at Mahoning Valley but gets a favourable draw. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Rising in grade. May find these too slick.

Was in the hunt for a long way when 3rd beaten by almost 15L last run at Mahoning Valley and good career start. Up against a more competitive field. Worth a serious look.

Odds of $4.50 and struggled with the pace when 6th last run at Mahoning Valley and challenged by more formidable competitors. Looks hopeful at best.

Was $9.00 and didn't threaten when 6th last start at Mahoning Valley and matched against a stronger field. Expecting to settle positively. Could feature here.

Started at $5.50 and couldn't stay in touch when 5th last time at Mahoning Valley but stepping down to a lower level. Should muster plenty of early speed. Strong claims in this.
