Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
COMMANDMENT (4) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt). Has ability and looks sure to measure up. TAGERMEEN (9) has been in the placings two times from three starts in this maiden campaign, the latest as favourite over 1408m at this track (Dirt) when 7 lengths from the winner. Not far off a win and he looks a genuine threat. BLUE MOUNTAINS (7) drifted back early on debut last start then worked home fairly to finish 3 lengths away in fifth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Likely improver who is among the better chances. ONE REWARD (1) didn't do a lot on debut six weeks ago, finishing 10 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Plenty of scope for improvement. One of the hopes.
