Colonial Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
CREATE TROUBLE (1) showed good early pace over 1609m at this track (Turf) when resuming last time and kept going to score by 0.8 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. DAIRAGO (7) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1710m at Colonial Downs Turf, beaten 2.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. MCCULLOUGH (8) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1710m at Colonial Downs Turf, an improvement on his eighth at Colonial Downs Turf the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. WALTER ME LAD (6) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 1.5 lengths back in fourth over 1710m at this track (Turf). Solid top-three prospects.
