Thistledown Race 7

Allowance

Prize Money: $54,740

HOLIDAYS ARMY BRAT (3) is near a win after three minor placings in a row, the latest a close second over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when she was prominent throughout. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. REASONS WE DRINK (2) was an effortless maiden winner last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 2.25 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Serious contender again with the confidence high. SMALL TOWN GOSSIP (1) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Scored over 1106m at this track to launch the last campaign. Among the better hopes. KINGDOM TRAILS (6) comes here off a last-start eighth, beaten 12 lengths, over 1710m at Belterra Park. Should run very well.
