Colonial Downs Race 8 - Shenandoah S. Stakes
TAP INTO GRACE (1) Did well to run 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last run at Monmouth Park and drawn well. Sheldon Russell takes the reins today but challenged by a tougher grade. Gets a chance to win. MEILANI (2) Reeled them in to win last run at Woodbine and can find a nice position from the draw. Has shown early pace in races to date. Has to be strongly considered. RIDGIE (8) First up and rattled home nicely into 2nd first up last preparation at Presque Isle Downs. Up in grade. A win wouldn't surprise. CAROLYNCAROLINE (3) Didn't find the line when 4th last time at Monmouth Park and matched against a stronger field. Producing consistent results this preparation. Exotics chance.

Came on strongly when 3rd last run at Monmouth Park and has drawn the rails. Sheldon Russell rates highly aboard but facing stiffer opposition. Competitive type.

Picked up nicely to win last run at Woodbine and drawn nicely. Won't be far away during the run. Jockey Paco Lopez rates highly. Going well this campaign. Chance and can measure up.

Odds of $18.00 and struggled when 4th last run at Saratoga but up against weaker rivals. Good to see Ismerio Villalobos is jumping on. Very slim hope.
