Colonial Downs Race 8 - Old Dominion Oaks Stakes
STRIKING FINALE (4) Was eating up the ground late to win last start at Gulfstream Park but competing at a higher grade. Made it 2 wins in succession. Suitably placed in this race. DAGMARA (11) Took charge of the race to win by a margin of 2 3/4L last run at Ellis Park but facing formidable competition. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. FORGET ABOUT YOU (9) First up after a break. Rocketed home when winning last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis and putting a tidy record together so far. Has the ability to take this out. FOND OF YOU (10) Made every post a winner when winning by 1 1/2L last time here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Competing in a higher grade. Has the ability to figure.

Picked up nicely to win last start at Monmouth Park and drawn the rails. Tracking very well this campaign but up against tougher opponents. Others are more appealing.

Was agonizingly close last run at Saratoga and has a positive barrier. Been in the money on multiple occasions this preparation but taking on stronger rivals. Low-key chance.

Resuming. Bold effort when winning last time at the track but matched against tougher rivals. Forest Boyce and Claude R Mcgaughey Iii are usually a competitive duo. Could be in the mix.
