Churchill Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
CANDY MINE (12) has not been sighted since she finished second over 1106m at Keeneland on April 16. Leading contender. LUCY MCGEE (15) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1106m at this track (Turf) after being in the firing line all the way. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Sophie Doyle. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. MURPHY GIRL (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths into fifth. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. ONE FRONT WAR (14) is a six-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at this track (Turf) over 1106m, beaten 2 lengths. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
