Thistledown Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance
GRIMES GLEN (3) Fresh after a 27 week break. Set the pace when winning by a margin of 2 3/4L last time at Mahoning Valley and putting a tidy record together so far. Respect in this company. JASPER MAXIMUS (2) Finished 6th last time at Belterra Park. Giving another chance here and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Go close. GRAY PERFECTION (5) Took charge of the race to win by a margin of 1 1/2L last time at this track but racing against tougher rivals. Likely to be well placed early. Will be around the mark at odds. VERTISALUTE (4) First up from a break of 36 weeks. Finished amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 2L last run at the track but testing ability against stronger contenders. Could surprise at odds.

Resuming from a 30 week break. Was $16.00 and ordinary performance when 5th last start at Mahoning Valley but up against a less competitive field. Should come to hand quickly. Much prefer the look of others in this race.

Odds of $4.00 and came in 6th last time at Belterra Park. Giving another chance here and showing consistent performance in races. Has a positive gate. Matched against tougher rivals. Should feature prominently.

First up after a break of 36 weeks. Strong effort to run into 3rd last run at this venue but facing formidable rivals. Will be hitting the line strongly. Looks optimistic.

Took charge of the race to win by 1 1/2L last time around here but competing in a higher grade. Will be positive in the run early. Should run a competitive race.
