Colonial Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
VERONIKA Z (5) is a four-year-old filly who is having her first run for the Jose Francisco D'angelo barn. Hasn't raced since finishing in the placings at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) 11 months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but is in a nice race. Can kick off with a win. MIDNIGHT PROWLER (7) has switched yards since finishing second five weeks ago over 1710m at Laurel Turf. Has ability and should be right in the finish. BAND ON THE RUN (1) is a consistent performer with three minor placings from four starts this time in work. Continued the trend last start when runner-up over 1710m at this track (Turf). Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BEAUTIFUL EMMA (9) is a 12-start maiden who was in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third at the latest appearance over 1609m at this track (Turf). Sure to be right in this.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign ran last in a small field at Turfway Park on February 26 over 1609m, 21 len behind Tutta Bella with 53.5kg at $2.68. When resuming last campaign 4th of 10 at Kentucky on August 28 over 1609m, 6 len behind Aggressive Lime with 54kg at $22.55. Certainly one to consider.

Second run back. First-up after five months 2nd of 10 at Laurel Turf on June 21 over 1710m, 2.75 len behind Lendalfoot with 57kg at $11.40. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Penn National Turf on September 3 over 1609m, 2.75 len behind Vekoma's War carrying 56.5kg at $4.30. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 11 at this track on July 16 over 1609m, 2 len behind Yammy Yammy Bella with 53.5kg at $8.90. Before that 2nd of 10 at Gulfstream Park Turf on May 16 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Scarlett's Law carrying 55kg at $9.10. Not far off the winner latest and looks a genuine hope.
