Colonial Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
THEMIS (5) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1106m at Laurel Turf, beaten half a length after being in the firing line on the bend. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. CLEARLY SOPHIA (1) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work and looks close to a maiden win, the latest effort a third over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Solid prospects. DAENERYS (7) is close to breaking through following a narrow defeat last time over 1106m at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Likely to play a major role. PENELOPE'S GIFT (6) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing half a length from the winner in second over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf). Has upside and worth including.

Second-up. First-up after six months 4th of 7 at Laurel Turf on June 19 over 1106m, 1.4 len behind Truly Thrilling carrying 54kg at $5.50.
