Colonial Downs Race 7 - Hickory Tree S. Stakes
FISSION (9) Was much too speedy in front to win by a margin of 2 1/4L last time at this track but competing in a higher grade. Must be considered. REMEMBERTHEWORD (2) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Stormed home to win last start at Laurel Park and drawn nicely. Has to be included. GOOD LOOKERNESS (3) Spaced the field to win by 6L last run here but up against stronger rivals. Martin Chuan and Jamie Ness are an appealing combination. Can get the job done. ALAPOCAS (5) Was eating up the ground late when winning last run at this venue and fitter for debut run. Will be hitting the line strongly. Exotics hope in this event.

Resuming after a break. Finished hard to win last start at Laurel Park and has a good draw. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Gave them a lesson when winning by a margin of 6L last run at this track but competing at a higher class. Definite winning chance.

Was amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last time here and having second race start. Racing in stronger company. Can't back with any confidence.

Ran home strongly to win last run here and was on debut last time. Will be trying to topple them late. Betting is the best guide.

Faded at the finish when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last run around here but stepping up to a higher level. Hard to entertain.

Gave away some ground when 7th last run at Churchill Downs but goes down in class. Jr Joseph Rocco usually performs well for this stable. Possible place chance.

Controlled the speed to win by a margin of 2 1/4L last time here but up against a higher level of opposition. Has shown early pace in races to date. Good chance at a nice price.
