Churchill Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
CARNITINE (2) found one marginally better last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent throughout. Drawn to advantage. Likely improver with strong prospects. CULPRIT (8) finished third, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt) after he was in contention on the turn. Ready to go a couple better. STRONSINO (4) is yet to break through after four starts. Missed the placings last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Cristian Mauricio Torres stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Expected to measure up. BOURBON SOCIETY (9) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of 11 weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
