Colonial Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
VORSTIN (2) 3yo by Vekoma racing as a debutant for trainer Jamie Ness and drawn nicely. Jockey Paco Lopez is highly regarded. Betting is the best guide. LUCKY LIS (5) Made considerable ground when 3rd last time at Laurel Park. Putting up notable efforts this preparation. Must respect in this event. BLAZING BRIDGETTE (4) First up from a spell. Managed to run into 3rd last start at Gulfstream Park but will be down in distance. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. CUDDLER (9) First up and put in a competitive run when placing 2nd first up last preparation here. First race for a new trainer and promising career start. Key player.

Resumes from a spell. Was amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at Gulfstream Park but coming back in distance. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Back from a 42 week spell. Odds of $11.00 and weakened to finish 7th last start around here. Has early speed and positions nicely. Not interested.
