Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance
FORTISSIMO (2) appeals as the leading chance, having finished 3rd at Mahoning Valley over 1207m last start and boasting a strong record at both this track and distance. SCRIMPER (3) comes off a 2nd at Mahoning Valley over 1207m and has been consistently in the placings. CHANNEL FURY (1) is a proven performer at Thistledown with 10 wins from 26 starts here and 6 wins at this trip. BRICK AMBUSH (5) and MOREAU (6) both resume with solid overall records, though each is yet to win at this distance. POWERFUL (4) has recent form below his best but is a two-time winner at Thistledown. Fortissimo, Scrimper, and Channel Fury look the main hopes based on recent and track form.
