Colonial Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
SMART UNCLE (3) returns after a spell of three months. Looking to emulate his win at Foxfield at the beginning of last prep. Comes here with definite claims. POTCAKE (7) is a four-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Turf) over 1609m after being in contention on the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HOPE'S ALIVE (4) met with solid support last start over 1609m at this track (Turf) when fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. EARL OF GODIVA (9) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start over 1609m at this track (Turf), beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects.
