Colonial Downs Race 7 - Yorktown Stakes (Stakes)
BARBADIAN RUNNER (3) scored by 0.1 lengths last start at Listed level at Laurel (Dirt) over this distance after he was prominent at the corner. Form over this journey is strong, boasting four wins from four starts. Drops back in grade. Sure to be there at the finish. ARISTOTLE (5) was sent out at $22.53 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1811m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can repeat the dose. VIBE (1) is a talented entire who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 99 lengths behind Nysos over 1609m in the G1 Metropolitan Handicap at Saratoga (Dirt). Has been in great form with two victories from three outings this preparation. Should be involved in the finish. ADERO (2) turned in a strong run last time when he settled well back before running on hard to be beaten only 0.1 lengths into second over 1811m in stakes class at Laurel (Dirt). Will find this much easier. Sure to be thereabouts.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 29-day let-up. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Churchill Downs on June 26 over 1811m, 1.5 len behind Aristotle carrying 55.5kg at $3.49. The start before that 3rd of 7 at Churchill Downs in LR on April 29 over 2414m, 1.75 len behind Parchment Party with 53.5kg at $14.42. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. In the mix again.
