Colonial Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SOUPER ZONDA (9) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell, the most recent in stakes class at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) over 1609m. Will find this much easier. Among the leading chances this field. EVERSHED (10) returns from a spell of eight months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when eighth over 2213m in the G3 Jockey Club Oaks Invitational Stakes at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Rates highly and should take beating. CAVIAR BREAKFAST (4) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1811m at Churchill Downs. Profiles to run well. NIGHT OF ROSE (1) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Only raced once last campaign which was a narrow defeat over 1811m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Solid claims on best form.
