[#] 6 [Links] Closer Looks >> DRF Picks >>
MALIBU MUDSLIDE tried turf and two turns simultaneously under the lights at Colonial Downs recently, and was right there to midstretch before fading in second try for this owner-trainer; likely to benefit turning back to 5 1/2 furlongs. SO ROYAL has similar look to stablemate Kiss Me Lola ($7.50), a maiden turf sprint winner earlier at the meet who was also coming off a short layoff; must come away alertly from rail with pace rivals IVY CHAIN and MY COUSIN ZINNY outside her. The consistent BLUE BALLERINAand the improved PAN DULCE figure close together and belong in exacta/trifecta strategies.
