Colonial Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
NAABAAHII (3) returned last time with a solid second at Laurel Turf (Turf) over 1609m. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. WHALEAXE (4) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 2.25 lengths into fifth over 1106m at Monmouth Park Turf. This looks a sterner test than last time but with added fitness he is capable of testing his rivals. SE THAR BARR (7) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished fifth at his last appearance over 1710m at Laurel Turf (Turf) on June 12. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. ZENCAT (10) could only manage to finish ninth, beaten 6 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1609m at Laurel Turf (Turf). Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.

Raced twice to date. At big odds at debut, eased back early on 7th of 10 at Laurel on May 16 over 1207m, 12 len behind Grant The Great with 56kg at $37.10. Last start ran second last in a small field at Laurel on June 12 over 1710m, 15 len behind Good Man Dan with 56kg at $8.50. Will find this a bit too tough.
