Colonial Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Optional Claiming
RICHEZTOO (6) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 6 lengths last time out over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. GOLDEN DESCENT (4) registered a strong win at Laurel Turf two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in contention on the corner before finishing second over 1207m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. ON THE LEVEL (2) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1308m at Ellis Park, beaten 12 lengths into sixth. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. BOLD FACT (1) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten one length. Will trim down second-up. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.

Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.0 len at Laurel Turf on June 6 over 1106m defeating Superlastingsecret carrying 57kg at $3.80. Definite chance.
