Colonial Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
MOTION GRANTED (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1710m at Woodbine after being in contention on the bend. Has the class to take this out. THICK AS THIEVES (7) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight, beaten 11 lengths into eighth. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. SWEET TONE (2) was safely held when third last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. RECTOR (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
