Colonial Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
GIGI SPIRIT (6) raced once in the maiden preparation when seventh at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1509m back on June 20. Will improve and looks well placed. STARSHIP POLARIS (2) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1308m at Charles Town (Dirt) when she was prominent throughout. Likely improver with strong prospects. AQUA BLAZE (8) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. FLASHY AVIATOR (9) has not raced since her debut back on April 26 when she finished fourth over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). With the addition of blinkers is worth keeping safe.

Resuming after a break; only one run when 7th of 11 at Churchill Downs on June 20 over 1509m, 9 len behind Mighty Nora carrying 53.5kg at $5.18. Could prove too smart for these.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 10th of 12 at Colonial Downs Inner Turf on August 9 over 1106m, 12 len behind Awards Ceremony carrying 51kg at $19.40. Second-up 5th of 7 at this track on August 21 over 1609m, 7 len behind Maggies Brew with 51kg at $15.10. Solid claims.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 8 at this track on August 7 over 1207m, 4 len behind Marriedtothegame with 54kg at $5. Before that 4th of 9 at Delaware Park Turf on July 16 over 1509m, 7 len behind Who's Got Cents carrying 53.5kg at $3.30. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
