Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight
HONFLEUR (1) was on the speed from the rails draw when resuming last start and battled on well to finish second over 1710m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Nicely placed to play a major role. VOW TO RESILIENCY (7) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) after being in contention all the way. Finds a tougher race but she has the ability to test this field. CAPE SOUNION (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather, beaten 14 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but with added fitness she is capable of testing her rivals. HEAVENLY MELODY (5) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 3.5 lengths into second over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be thereabouts.
