Colonial Downs Race 3

Allowance

Stake: -

FLAME DANCER (3) Tidy effort when 2nd last start at Hawthorne but up against a more competitive field. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Worth a ticket. BOOST (6) Went to the front and never looked back when winning by a margin of a nose last time at Laurel Park. Should jump out and bowl along. Key player. HOVEKOMA (2) First run back from a break. Mediocre attempt when 5th last run at the track but has a good draw. Gets a chance to win. BEYOND QUESTION (7) Finished with intent when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last run at Laurel Park but up against tougher rivals. Jockey Sonny Leon and trainer Michael J Trombetta work well together. This field suits.

Back from a break. Ran 3rd last run at Laurel Park and up against weaker rivals. Possesses very good finishing speed. Jockey Paco Lopez is highly regarded. Likely to be an exotics contender.

Did well when 2nd last start at Hawthorne but up in class. Expecting to settle positively. Jareth Loveberry and Larry Rivelli are a strong team. Expect a forward showing.

Fresh after a break. Odds of $23.00 and didn't threaten when 4th last run at the track. Shows good early pace. Jockey Antonio A Gallardo rates highly aboard. Others are better.

Started $12.00 and was making up some late ground when 5th last time at Laurel Park and promising career start. Expected to be flashing home. Racing in stronger company. Could put in your exotics.

Took charge of the race to win by a nose last time at Laurel Park. Likely to be well placed early. Tracking very well this campaign. Good chance and definitely has claims.
