Colonial Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
IMPROBABLE TALE (8) is a three-start maiden who finished fifth after being in contention on the corner at her most recent outing over 1710m at this track (Turf). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. LIMITED VINTAGE (5) returned last time with a solid second at this track (Turf) over 1609m. In the right race and is a winning hope. ROMELIA (4) was prominent at the bend and finished third last time over 1609m at this track (Turf), beaten 2.25 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. ROTISSERIE (3) could only manage to finish ninth, beaten 23 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1710m at this track (Turf) after she got a long way back in the run. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
