Colonial Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Hcp
SMILING ELLIE (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish sixth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1609m at Listed level at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Rates highly and expected to go well. DYNAMIC ACTRESS (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf, beaten 0.3 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the key runners. NOTABLE EXCHANGE (8) finished third over 1609m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) at her most recent appearance on May 22. Now under the care of new trainer M J Maker. One to consider. LET'S DANCE AGAIN (1) bounced back last start and scored by 1.75 lengths over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf). Solid top-three prospects. Something for the Multiples: PUT A ROCK ON IT (3)

Recent form sound. Last start 2nd in a small field at Colonial Downs Inner Turf on August 6 over 1609m, 1.75 len behind Let's Dance Again carrying 56.5kg at $2.40. The run before that won by a 0.3 len at Colonial Downs Inner Turf on July 18 over 1609m defeating Dynamic Actress carrying 53.5kg at $4.20. Not far away last time. Worth plenty of thought.
