Churchill Downs Race 12 - Race 12 - Maiden Special Weight
MIZZOU (8) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 10 lengths, over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. SEA VISTA (4) closed last prep with a fifth over 1308m at Turfway Park on December 28. Worth noting that he opened the last campaign with a minor placing at this track over 1308m. Treat the removal of blinkers this prep as a positive sign. VITAL MIND (6) made a promising debut over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) on 29/03/2025, finishing half a length away in second and has not been produced since. Sure to have improved so another bold showing is expected. SHALLUS (9) is racing well, most recently finishing second two-and-a-half weeks ago over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
