Colonial Downs Race 9 - Punch Line S. Stakes
DETERMINED KINGDOM (3) produced a good effort last start over this journey at Saratoga Turf (Turf), scoring by a nose. Has a strong record this course, scoring at six of 11 starts. Sure to be there at the business end. GRAMP'S LEGACY (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.75 lengths over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Leading player again. SAXTON (2) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Should be involved in the finish. WAR HUMOR (4) finished second when resuming two runs back at Laurel Turf (Turf) then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1710m in Listed grade at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf). Nicely placed to make it two on the bounce.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming ran second last of 11 at Laurel Turf on April 24 over 1106m, 6 len behind Twirling Express carrying 55kg at $28.30. Last start 5th of 10 at Laurel Turf on June 7 over 1106m, 4 len behind Elon carrying 57kg at $25.70. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.

Colt returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation second last in a small field at Laurel April 17 over 1207m, 2 len behind Top Manipulator with 56kg at $1.10. Previous preparation first-up to post a big 9 len win. Colonial Downs March 13 over 1106m defeating Ihaveanappforthat carrying 54.5kg at $1.20. Best form gives him a decent chance.
