Colonial Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
AQUA BLAZE (8) Hit the line well when 2nd last start here and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Displays good tactical speed. Appears well in this. FLASHY AVIATOR (9) Back from a break. Came in 4th last run at Churchill Downs. Should improve from the last run and was a debutant last start. Expecting to settle positively. Key player. GIGI SPIRIT (6) First up after a break. Finished 7th last start at Churchill Downs but fitter for debut run. Saffie A Joseph Jr stable are running hot lately. One of the hopes. MAHIRA (7) On a quick turnaround. Weakened to finish 5th last start at the track and will be down in distance. Large claim helps. Won't be far away and represents an each way player.

Odds of $53.00 and lost ground in the run home when 10th last time here. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Should be included in your exotics.

Odds of $53.00 and weakened under pressure when 11th last run at the track and down in trip. Likely to get back in the run. May find these too slick.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Was $6.50 and ran 7th last start at Churchill Downs but having second career run. Down in distance. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Backing up quickly for this race. Jumped at $12.00 and faded to finish 5th last start around here and dropping in distance. The large claim from Luis Fuenmayor helps. Good potential.

Fresh after a spell. Started at $4.50 and finished 4th last run at Churchill Downs. Should improve from the last run and having second race start. Commands respect.
