Colonial Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
EDELWEISS (6) was far from disgraced when second last start after being prominent at the bend over 1408m at Laurel, beaten a nose. That followed a win at Laurel the start prior. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. CHRISTMAS SPIRIT (5) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1710m at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. ORB ALPHA (4) has not appeared since he lost rider over 1609m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) on January 23. Has to be respected. NOTMYFIRSTRODEO (3) has not appeared since he finished fifth over 1710m at Laurel (Dirt) on May 2. Definite top-three chance. Something for the Multiples: SINGULARITY (1)

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 43-day let-up. Last start came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at Monmouth Park May 23 over 1710m defeating Enduring Angel with 55kg at $3. The race before that 3rd of 7 at Laurel on May 2 over 1609m, 7 len behind Lifting with 57kg at $7.60. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.
