Churchill Downs
R1 – OC 62k/N2X
#2 Dream Dance (5-2) – I look for her to bounce back after dull effort in Indiana Oaks as Robby looks to keep her on a straight path.
#1 Crown D’Oro (7-2) – Routing on the dirt seems to be her game.
#6 Taxable (9-2) – Counting on the recent rest to due her some good and well bred filly still has plenty of upside.
#3 Rosie My Rosie (5-1) – Experienced mare should be doing her best running late for a minor piece.
R2 – Clm 7.5K
#7 Love Your Humor (10-1) – Looking for the drop and stretchout to wake him up.
#3 Jack’s the Won (5-1) – Fits at this level and is familiar with this surface.
#1 Ol Army (5-1) – Should flash some speed and is more than capable of taking this event on his return to the dirt.
#2 Prado Dash (7-2) – Hard knocker took a simliar race during the spring meet.
R3 – MSW 43k (Turf 2yo f 8F)
#3 Wicked Licked (9-2) – She was really moving late in her debut after saving ground from an outside post. Inside draw should do the trick.
#8 My Sweet Stella (4-1) – Ran into some nice Turf fillies at Saratoga including division’s best Coasted. Solid local work last week.
#2 Susie’s Daddy (9-2) – Always like to see youngsters not afraid to split horses and the extra real estate should help as well.
#1 Ginza (8-1) – Adds lasix after not showing much at Ky Downs and the rail draw adds to the appeal.
R4 – OC 62k/N2X
#2 Whyruawesome (3-1) – Likes it here and should take advantage of his early speed.
#4 Air Squadron (5-1) – I know he’s kept nice company, but that 2 for 27 is a concern to swallow a short price.
#1 Valiant City (7-2) – Back to his preferred surface and this guy always seems to bring it.
#7 Hat of Jacks (10-1) – Sharp works after being on the beach almost an entire year. Interesting.
PK4 – 1 2 6 / 1 2 3 7 8 / 3 8 / 1 2 4 = $45 for $.50
R5 – Md 30k
#2 Tresa’s Dream (8-1) – 1ster makes sense for above avg debut barn that starts him $10k over the purchase price.
#11 Rose of the Nile (12-1) – Was in contention in debut for half the race and the blinkers should help keep her focused throughout.
#3 Tiz Da Biz (8-1) – Has to be considered on the drop from MSW.
#8 Shamelessfi (10-1) – Foley is off to good start at the meet and don’t discount on the drop.
R6 – Clm 30k N2L
#11 Bellatori (8-1) – Just one published recent work, but Barn knows how to get them ready off a freshening.
#6 Queen’s Princess (7-2) – 1st time for a tag and definitely fits on the numbers for Romans.
#10 Eurodevilwoman (5-1) – Missed by a length as the chalk in most recent at Ellis and looks to be in a good stalking position throughout.
#9 Malibubu (6-1) – Expecting her to be competitive with the drop to the claiming ranks for McGee.
R7 – OC 75k/N2L (2yo f 6F)
#5 Vertical Oak (2-1) – When you blow away MSW company at Saratoga people take notice. Don’t expect much of a price.
#2 Like a Hurricane (8-1) – Got caught up in a speed duel and threw in the towel when last seen. Speedster.
#1 Funny Holiday (8-1) – Like the fact she didn’t have the cleanest trip and still managed to score at Ellis.
#4 Jazzy Lady (5-1) – Her debut on a dry track was above average and she suprised at SAR to finish 2nd at 20-1 in a Turf sprint.
R8 – MSW 43k (Turf 2yo f 8F)
#5 Bahama Kitten (6-1) – Made up some ground in Turf sprint debut at Ellis, she should relish the two turns here.
#4 Mare Irish Dancer (3-1) – Her experience should help her here along with the extra ground.
#7 Cha Cha Magic (5-1) – Her debut was taken off the turf and she’s working lights out for this.
#8 Freedom (7-2) – Expensive War Front colt makes debut with typical Asmussen not asking for much in the mornings.
PK6 – 2 3 8 / 1 2 4 / 2 3 8 11 12 / 6 11 / 5 / 4 5 7 = $54 for $.20
