NO SHOW SAMMY JO (1) returned from a break with a win by 5.5 lengths over 1m1/2f at Colonial Downs (Turf) making it three straight. Far too good last time and expected to go right on with it. MALIBU BEAUTY (6) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1m in stakes class at this track (Dirt) last start to make it three straight. The testing material. Group 3 winner ATOMIC BLONDE (2) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1m4f in the G2 Glens Falls Stakes at Saratoga (Turf). Finds a nice race and can turn things around. CUT FROM CLASS (3) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings in stakes class at this track (Dirt) over 1m after she had settled well back. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to take this out.
