Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
SWIRLING EIGHTS (13) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing second and beaten only 0.8 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. LEBOWSKI (5) finished third over 1710m at Keeneland two back then missed the frame last time out over 1609m at this track (Turf). Drawn to go forward. Shapes as one of the top chances. PLENSA (3) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1710m at Keeneland (Turf). One of the leading chances. OUR STARRY NIGHT (4) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1006m at this track (Turf). Improver worth including.
