Colonial Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Hcp

SHAPE NOTE (7) led throughout last time over 1106m at Saratoga (Dirt) and scored a comfortable win. Should be ridden positively again and should prove tough to beat. BUSHIDO (3) just missed last time when a nose away in second at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) over 1207m. Genuine contender. PAYNTED WARRIOR (5) ran below expectations last time at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf), finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths starting at $8.10. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. NORMANDY HERO (6) finished second when resuming on turf, beaten a nose at Delaware Park Turf. Followed it up with success on the dirt at Delaware Park over 1006m two weeks ago. Top strike rate at the journey with two wins and three placings from five starts and must be respected.
