Colonial Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
STARK (1) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf), finishing second and beaten 2 lengths. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. MR BOBO (3) returned from a spell eight weeks ago when he was beaten 9 lengths into seventh over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf. Strips fitter and can find the winners' list. PAYTON'S HAMMER (5) had been performing well until racing below his best last time when fifth over 2414m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Better than that and is among the leading chances. DON'T TELL TIM (2) is a two-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 2.75 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at Delaware Park Turf (Turf). Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
