Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
ROCKY JOY (2) did a good job last start to finish second at this track (Turf) over 1710m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with two placings to his name. Best form puts him right in this. REBEL RED (12) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at Keeneland (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 6 lengths. Blinkers are added so with added fitness he looms as a big threat. OVER AND OLLIE (3) is back after a break of ten months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1811m at Woodbine. Strong winning chance on best figures. CLOUDY HOLIDAY (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1710m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
