Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Allowance
MISS ELLE (4) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 3 lengths last time out over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt). Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the chocolates. MISS ELLARY (7) finds it hard to win with two victories from 22 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1710m at this track, beaten a nose. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is a major player. MEZCALIFORNIA (8) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. CAROLINA CANDY (3) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.75 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.
