Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
PLAZA CUE (5) settled well back and never came on when resuming last start, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. PURE JOY (6) is poised to win after placing at her last three outings, most recently when second over 1710m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) when she was always up in the leading division. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. ATI GIRL (3) was in the money two starts back at Tampa Bay Downs Turf then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1710m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Will drift back but wind up late. Suited here and can feature with even luck. TOO MANY MIKES (1) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was always well out of her ground over 1710m at Gulfstream Park Turf, beaten 11 lengths into tenth. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp.

Racing well recently. Last start 4th of 11 at Gulfstream Park All Weather on March 29 over 1710m, 1.4 len behind Barakah with 55.5kg at $4.80. The start before that 2nd of 12 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on February 7 over 1710m, 6 len behind Kokomotion carrying 54.5kg at $11.30. Showed enough last start to suggest she can take this out.
