Colonial Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
STEADFAST RESOLVE (1) could only manage fifth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 3621m at this track, beaten only half a length after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. LIGHTUP LIGHTUP (9) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth, beaten 26 lengths, over 3621m at this track (Turf). Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MCLOVIN (4) is going well with two minor placings from three starts this campaign. Was handy all the way and finished one length from the winner in second at the latest outing over 3621m at this track (Turf). Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DOUBLE CLUTCH (5) is back from a break of 11 weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when seventh over 3420m at Laurel Turf (Turf). Worth plenty of thought.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently came from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on July 30 over 3621m, 1.0 len behind Investment Mandate carrying 71kg at $11.40. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Laurel Turf on June 21 over 3420m, 17 len behind Hold Out with 71kg at $4.80. Impressed last start. Right in the mix again.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last preparation settled back and ran on when 7th of 10 at Laurel Turf on June 21 over 3420m, 25 len behind Hold Out with 71kg at $5.20. When resuming last campaign ran second last of 10 at Churchill Downs Turf on November 27 over 1106m, 3.5 len behind Heart Headed with 54.5kg at $37.87. Solid return wouldn't surprise.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently 6th of 9 at this track on July 30 over 3621m, 21 len behind Investment Mandate with 71kg at $22.60. Before that 8th of 12 at Saratoga Inner Turf on June 3 over 1811m, 9 len behind A Little At First with 57kg at $95.41. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
