Churchill Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
DON'TMINDIFIDO (16) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished sixth at her last appearance over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on September 28. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. DESPERATE DREAMS (11) faced the starter for the first time and finished eighth last start at Kentucky (Turf) over 1308m, beaten 9 lengths. Will have a lot more to offer this time. PUSHING THROUGH (14) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Has ability and must be respected. LADY UPSTART (15) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 1710m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
