Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
GO FOR ROCKET (2) is yet to break through after four career starts. Managed to find the placings at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) two starts back when resuming before finishing eighth over 1811m at Keeneland Turf (Turf) last start. Big chance to break through. MULA (7) is going well with two minor placings from three starts this time in work. Continued the trend last time out when third over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) after he was handy all the way. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PAMPERED PRINCE (6) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 11 lengths. Fitter and with the blinkers added is sure to be competitive. BOLD STAND (3) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic), finishing ninth and beaten 18 lengths. Capable of featuring. Something for the Multiples: CONSEQUENTIAL (1)
