Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
BUCKEYE BOMBSHELL (6) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Fairgrounds Turf over 1609m. Looks the one to beat. IN FOR A SPIN (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Keeneland (Dirt) over 1207m after being in contention all the way. Should be handy in the run. Has the ability to figure prominently. WATERSHED MOMENT (4) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Keeneland (Dirt) over 1710m. Blinkers are removed. Should run well. SOUPERRAZZLEDAZZLE (5) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after she got a long way back in the run. Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.
