Colonial Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Optional Claiming
MCCULLOUGH (2) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then was always well out of his ground last start when 6 lengths away in eighth over 1710m at this track. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. CLASS PHOTO (9) finished 3 lengths back in second over 1673m at Delaware Park Turf (Turf) last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Should be poised just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. DAIRAGO (7) finished 5.5 lengths behind the winner in sixth over 1710m at this track (Turf) last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give backers a great sight. CLOUD MUSIC (8) is coming along nicely this prep, scoring by 1.75 lengths last start over 1509m at Delaware Park Turf (Turf). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd of 7 at Delaware Park Turf on June 24 over 1673m, 3 len behind Magical Ways with 56kg at $11.50. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.1 len at Laurel Turf May 31 over 1811m defeating Put A Rock On It carrying 57kg at $2.60. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.
