Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
CARDIO CAT (4) will find this a little easier than her second on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten one length at the end of 905m at this track (Dirt). Will benefit from that experience so she is worth following up. BY GRACE (5) faced the starter for the first time and finished eighth last start at this track (Dirt) over 905m, beaten 18 lengths. Blinkers on and strips fitter. Sure to go well. JUNEAU (3) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Kenneth G Mcpeek. By Bolt D'oro from Blame Debbie. Any push in betting should be respected. HONKY TONK GIRL (7) is facing the starter for the first time. By Nashville and hails from the Peter Miller stable. Worth watching for a betting push.

Was well-supported at debut, raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 7 at this track on April 26 over 905m, 1.0 len behind Valkyrie carrying 54kg at $2.45. Can build upon that bright start to her career.
