Colonial Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
TWIRLING POINT (8) impressed first-up then took on a much better race last time when fifth over 2414m at Listed level at this track (Turf). Fitter and well-placed to turn things around. FOREVER SOUPER (3) had been racing consistently, finishing in the money two races on end, until finishing sixth as favourite last time out over 1673m at Presque Isle Downs. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and is sure to go well. STRONG QUALITY (5) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 19/06/2025, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths over 1710m at Aqueduct (Turf). Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. SIEGE OF BOSTON (6) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when fourth, beaten 3 lengths, in stakes class at Monmouth Park (Turf) over 1710m. Jorge Ruiz has scored on him two times and is back in the saddle. Must be respected. Something for the Multiples: RAPTOR'S (4)
