Colonial Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
NO ALIBI (5) First run back after spell. Solid run when placing 3rd beaten by 3/4L last run at Aqueduct and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Up in grade. Goes very close. SOUPER ZONDA (9) Has multiple wins when resuming. Finished with purpose when winning last time at Gulfstream Park but up against tougher rivals. Can go on with it. SOUPER AMUSING (8) Showed a clean pair of heels when winning by 3/4L last run at Penn National but up against a more competitive field. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Strong chance. IN THIS MOMENT (7) First run back from a break of 44 weeks. Didn't stay in touch when 4th last time at the track and solid career start. Facing formidable opponents. Winning hope.

Fresh after a break. Solid effort to run into 3rd beaten by 3/4L last run at Aqueduct and promising career start. Testing ability against stronger contenders. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.
