Colonial Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
LURED AWAY (1) was a dominant winner last time over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), getting home by 2.25 lengths. Is going okay this campaign, recording two wins and four minor placings from 10 starts. Should prove tough to beat. LA HOULIGAN (2) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 14 lengths behind Admiral Dennis over 1710m in Listed grade at Delaware Park (Dirt). Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Expected to feature. START MO UP (4) got off the mark over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last start, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Harder this time but still one to consider. AMBRIDGE (5) improved sharply last time out to score by 3.5 lengths over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely to be there at the finish again. Something for the Multiples: TUFF LUCK (3)
