Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight
PLAZA CUE (2) Finished 5th last run at Keeneland. Is capable of a resurgence and has a good draw. Should race on the speed. Showing great form this campaign. Respect against this field. CHURNING BERNI (4) Put in a competitive run when placing 2nd last time at Keeneland on a heavy surface and back to a rise in trip. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr adds value. One of the major players. KISS ME AGAIN (5) Produced an eye catching run when 2nd last run at Turfway Park and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Worth an each way investment. ASHES AND DIAMONDS (6) Made some ground late when 2nd last time at Keeneland and racing over a longer distance. Jockey Jose Ortiz is highly regarded. Could work into the placings.
