Colonial Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Optional Claiming

COOL COWBOY (1) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent effort a third at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1207m when he was beaten 3 lengths. Yet to miss the frame from seven starts at the trip, including a win and looks a top chance. GOLDEN DESCENT (3) is in top form this campaign, including a one length win over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf) last time and making it two in a row. Hard to knock recent runs and looks a definite winning hope again. SOMETIME (7) was in contention on the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1207m at Penn National after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a bold race. ROCKETEER (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on April 26, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths over 1408m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Lines up today for the first time for trainer Sandino R Hernandez Jr. Sure to make his presence felt.
