Woodbine Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
THANK YOU INDIA (4) Led throughout when winning by a margin of almost 8L last start at Santa Anita and putting a tidy record together so far. Likely to be well placed early. Has the ability to take this out. EMPTY HANDED (8) Dominant winner by a margin of 3 1/2L last time at this venue and having second career run. Up to these. ORION BEACH (10) First up after 33 weeks and finished with intent when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L first up last preparation at this track. Up against a less challenging field. Should be around the mark. XARABELLA (1) First up after 29 weeks and did well when 2nd first up last preparation at this track. Facing less formidable opponents. Has the ideal gate. Has to be included.

Picked up late ground when 2nd last start at this venue and gets a favourable barrier. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Betting is the best guide.

Did well to run into 3rd beaten by 4 1/4L last run at the track but up against stronger rivals. Has a great burst of speed late. Can show up in this at odds.
