Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
MO BEACH TIME (3) was in the firing line on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1609m at Ellis Park after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be underestimated. MAXXUS (11) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fifth at Ellis Park (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 7 lengths. Anticipating sharp improvement with the run under the belt. THUNDER MURPHY (9) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 9 lengths from the winner in fifth at Colonial Downs (Dirt) over 1207m. Capable of much more this time. RACE READY (4) is facing the starter for the first time. By More Than Ready and is out of the Norm W Casse stable. Worth watching for a betting push.
