Thistledown Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
RHODES (3) sets up well after leading and fighting on for 2nd at Thistledown over 1106m, beaten 0.5L, and draws to be prominent again. TOTAL SILENCE (4) was close-up 3rd in the same race and had won a 1207m Maiden at Mahoning Valley prior, so stays in the mix. MORODER (6) comes off a last‑start Thistledown Maiden win over 1106m and can measure up rising in trip. FORUM (2) resumes with a sharp 1006m debut 2nd and a Churchill Downs 1609m Maiden win last fall, and gets weight relief back in trip.
