Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
PHANTOM BLUE (1) will find this a little easier than her third on debut four weeks ago, beaten 1.75 lengths at the end of 1308m at Keeneland (Dirt). Sure to take a lot from that hitout so she will be hard to beat. EPISIST (7) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. MASS (5) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at her second outing when in contention on the turn, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1811m at Santa Anita Turf. Steps up a level but she is good enough to take this out. SISTER JEAN (3) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 1710m at Fairgrounds, beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth. Steps up a level but she is capable of playing a big role.

Was well in the market at debut, made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Keeneland on April 3 over 1308m, 1.75 len behind Where Luck Lives with 54.5kg at $4.73. Likely to kick on following that last outing.
