Colonial Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
CROSSINGTHECHANNEL (6) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Looking to emulate his win at Colonial Downs when returning from a spell last prep. Looks a winning chance. VIRTUOSITY (9) wound up strongly last time out to finish one length adrift in third over 1106m at Laurel Turf. Has a strong record at this distance with a win and four minor placings from five starts and is expected to feature. CREED'S VISION (2) was a dominant winner last time over 1106m at Laurel (Dirt), getting home by 5.5 lengths. Is yet to miss the frame from five starts this campaign, including two wins. One of the main contenders. IF EVER (3) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1106m contest at Monmouth Park Turf last time out by 0.1 lengths. Sure to measure up.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Gulfstream Park All Weather on May 30 over 1106m, 0.5 len behind If Not For Luck with 55.5kg at $8.10. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Gulfstream Park Turf on May 10 over 1006m, 5.5 len behind Thought Control with 57kg at $14. Close-up last start but this looks a stretch.
