Colonial Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CUGINO (6) returns from a break of five-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a 11th over 1811m at Gulfstream Park Turf. Boasts a good fresh record including two wins. Sure to prove tough to beat. EFF THIRTY FIVE (5) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when he scored by 3 lengths over 1710m in Listed grade at Penn National Turf (Turf). Will be better for that latest run and is expected to run well again. AIR RECRUIT (7) is a handy type who resumes after a break of eight months. Only appeared once last prep when he finished fifth over 1811m at Listed level at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Turf), beaten 5 lengths. Has an impressive first-up record including two victories. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Winning claims on best figures. HIDING IN HONDURAS (3) lines up for the first time since May 2. Looking to emulate his win at Presque Isle Downs when returning from a spell last prep. Has to be respected.

Won previous preparation first up won by 0.5 len at Colonial Downs Inner Turf July 11 over 1710m defeating Highestdistinction carrying 55.5kg at $3.80. Could prove too smart for these.
