Colonial Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SUDDEN SWITCH (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. LITTLE JAMIE (1) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 5 lengths from the winner in third over 1710m at Churchill Downs after being in contention on the bend. This doesn't look as hard so she is one of the main contenders. TIPPLE (2) returned from a break last start with a mediocre fifth over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt) after travelling back in the field from the outset. Has the talent to find the winners' list. PURE BEAUTY (5) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by one length over 1609m at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Well placed to feature in the finish again.
