Prize Money: $68,056

FUTILE GESTURE (10) boxed on to finish second last start over 1106m at Listed level at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 0.3 lengths when resuming. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. HAREWOOD (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1106m in stakes class at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf). Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the chocolates. MONTOUR (9) got the job done in grand style last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths over this journey at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) after stalking the lead. Solid winning hope. PRINCE OF PEACE (11) registered his first win last start over 1106m at Colonial Downs (Dirt), getting home by 3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. J Lopez was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again.
