Colonial Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Hcp

ZERO BLITZ (6) was on a winning run of three races but last time out finished third over 1408m at this track. Loads of ability and can return to winning form. WILLIE BIRD (1) ran below expectations last time at Saratoga (Dirt), finishing eighth and beaten 11 lengths starting at $2.77. Meets a stronger field but he is worth another chance. BOLD DIVERSION (4) lines up on the back of a 6 length fourth over 1408m at this track. Should run very well. INDY CHARGES ON (7) is back from a spell of 12 weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1609m at Laurel (Dirt). Sound prospects.
