Colonial Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
KING COVEE (5) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1710m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. GAS ALLEY (4) raced on the speed and lifted to score by 0.8 lengths at today's track and trip last start in a much improved run. Likely to be there at the finish again. NOTHINGBUTBLUESKY (12) broke through for his maiden win over 1710m at Laurel (Turf) last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Drawn out a bit but he is a great chance to go back-to-back. COME RAIN OR SHINE (8) kicked off this prep with a win five-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring over 1710m at Aqueduct. Credentials hard to knock.
