Thistledown Race 7

Allowance

Prize Money: $52,111

BOSABROTHER (7) was well in commission last start over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) when third, beaten 9 lengths. Jose A Bracho has registered two minor placings when on board. Likely to feature. DUO (4) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. SAMMY'S HALO (6) last appeared when he finished sixth over 1207m in Listed grade at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) on December 18. Worth plenty of thought. RIPMAN (1) produced another moderate effort last start when 18 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1207m at Mahoning Valley. No surprise to see him in the frame. Something for the Multiples: EL MEXICANO (5)
