Churchill Downs Race 6 - Pocahontas S. Stakes
DAZZLING DAME (6) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 1609m at Listed level at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Comfortable winner last time and can measure up again. OUR TWO GIRLS (5) impressed when successful on debut over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt) six weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and can win again. TAKEN BY THE WIND (3) impressed when successful on debut over 1408m at Saratoga (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver with bright prospects again. MISS COMPLICATED (2) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Ellis Park (Dirt) over 1207m. Should be prominent from the outset. One of the better hopes.
