Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
INSTANT IMPACT (2) has raced twice. Was fourth on debut then clocked-in 1.75 lengths from the winner in second last time out over 1609m at Ellis Park. Backmarker who gets home hard. Heading the right way and is expected to prove tough to beat. YOUR WILDEST DREAM (9) stepped out on his debut over 1609m at Ellis Park (Turf) four weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 2 lengths. Will improve and looks well placed. I DID I DID (3) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 9 lengths away in second over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Leading player again. DIRECT STRIKE (10) had support on debut last time out when he boxed on fairly to finish fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths over 1408m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Winning claims.
