Colonial Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming
KRAKEN (2) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a fourth over 1106m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf). Well placed and gets his chance to break through. CITRINE (5) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 1609m at Delaware Park Turf (Turf), beaten 2 lengths. Capable enough so worth another chance. RED SEA (6) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1106m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 2.75 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects. SHIRLEY'S BOYZ (9) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1811m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 5 lengths. Nicely placed to go one better.

Third-up today. Resuming 4th in a small field at Gulfstream Park All Weather on June 7 over 1673m, 12 len behind Noble Sky with 57kg at $12.50. Second run from a spell 7th of 12 at Colonial Downs Turf on August 7 over 1811m, 11 len behind Benjis Benefit with 56kg at $16.30. Solid prospects and a good stall doesn't hurt.
