Thistledown Race 5

Allowance

Stake: $47,030

COOL COUPLE (2) Struggled with the pace when 5th last run at the track. Can make a comeback and promising career start. Producing consistent results since returning from a break. Expect to go close. MONTANA CAFE (4) Won by a huge margin of 5 1/4L last run here. Jockey Luis Antonio Gonzalez and trainer Kim A Puhl can't be overlooked. Likely to be well placed early. Winning chance in this line up. RERUN (3) Tailed off to finish 7th last time at this track. Should improve. Alexander Chavez is a strong choice aboard. Expected to be flashing home. Won't be far away. VODKA N GINGERALE (6) Managed to run 3rd last run at this track. Jockey Anthony Y Nunez usually performs well for this stable. One of the hopes.
