Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
DARK THIRTY (1) was prominent into the straight last time but was overwhelmed late and wound up in fourth over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. MANY MO KISSES (8) was close to a maiden win before a nine weeks break, finishing off with a placing over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Re-unites with Gabriel Saez. Has ability and is a solid chance. COUNTRY CLUB (2) showed promise on debut last time out when in the money over 1609m at Ellis Park (Turf), beaten 4.5 lengths. Promising type with improvement to come so another top-three finish is on the cards. Z TRAIN (4) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1609m at Ellis Park (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is right in contention.
