Colonial Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

JUST A FAIR SHAKE (4) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when fourth over 1710m at Churchill Downs, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. BESTFRIEND ROCKET (2) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fourth when fresh from a spell two starts back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) then improved and scored over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) a month ago, getting home by 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. BREAK OUT (6) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Scored over 1673m at Hawthorne to launch the last campaign. Looks a strong top-three prospect. ALL THE HARDWAYS (5) is coming along nicely this prep, scoring by 1.75 lengths last start over 1207m at Laurel (Dirt). Well placed to feature in the finish again. Something for the Multiples: DON'T WAIT UP (3)
