Colonial Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WIN FOR THE MONEY (4) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1710m at Gulfstream Park Turf. Capable of playing a major role. HORSEPOWER (1) has recorded five minor placings from six starts this preparation, the latest when third as a well-fancied conveyance over 1207m in stakes class at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic). Goes well here including one wins so he is a real danger. LEGALIZE (5) returns from a layoff of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1710m at Fairgrounds Turf. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Comes here with definite top-three claims. FUNTASTIC AGAIN (6) finished 6 lengths behind the winner in eighth place when resuming over 1710m last start at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Second up record is sound. Should be much improved. Something for the Multiples: CROSSLAND (8)

The run before that ran second last in a small field at Laurel on May 30 over 1811m, 10 len behind Barbadian Runner with 56kg at $40.90. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.
