Colonial Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
DARE DEFYING (6) finished a 5 length fifth on dirt at Aqueduct two back. Switched to turf last time at Colonial Downs Inner Turf over 1609m and again missed the frame, finishing a 3.5 lengths fifth. Best form stacks up nicely. Big chance to atone. SKEDADDLING HOME (4) is a six-start maiden who finished ninth, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf). Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. REVOLUTION ROCK (1) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when seventh over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf a week-and-a-half ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. POWER AURA (5) could only manage to finish ninth, beaten 12 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after he got a long way back in the run. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
