Colonial Downs Race 7

Kitten's Joy S. Stakes

Prize Money: $173,611

INDUCTION (6) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) four weeks ago. Looks promising and can measure up again. PERFECT DREAM (2) ran third at his latest appearance over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf, clocking in 4.5 lengths from the winner. Perfectly placed to score. POPCORN (4) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1509m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf) eight weeks ago. Likely improver with bright prospects again. HERACLES (7) has not appeared since he scored on debut over 1509m at Gulfstream Park Turf on July 4. Expected to feature.
