Churchill Downs Race 4 - Derby City Distaff S. Presented By Ford Stakes

SPLENDORA (5) got the job done last start in the G1 Beholder Mile Stakes at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 1609m after she was prominent at the corner. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from four starts. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will play a major role. WAYS AND MEANS (4) is back after a break of 11 months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1408m at this track. One of the genuine hopes in the race. HAULIN ICE (2) scored last start in stakes class at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) to make it eight wins and two placings from 12 starts this campaign. Goes up a notch this time but looks up to the task. R DISASTER (6) went forward and gave a great sight when third over 1408m in the G1 Madison Stakes at Keeneland (Dirt) last time out. Yet to miss the frame from four starts at the trip, including a win and should run well.
