Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Allowance
TALKIN IN CURSIVE (5) has switched yards since finishing fifth two weeks ago over 1207m at Oaklawn Park. Key runner. POP ROX (2) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1207m at Gulfstream Park. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. MIRANDA'S ROCKY (4) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 4 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so she is one of the main contenders. MARGOINABUBBLEBATH (6) last appeared when she won over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) on February 20. Among the better hopes.

Last start came from midfield and won by 5 len at Evangeline Downs April 17 over 1106m defeating Day For The Gray with 53kg at $12.70. The race before that won by 2.75 len at Fairgrounds March 5 over 1207m defeating Tough Love Torres carrying 55kg at $5.10. Win doesn't look likely.

Resumes after a break of 12 weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign by 2.75 len Fairgrounds February 20 over 1207m defeating Kentucky Cajun carrying 55kg at $3.40. When resuming last campaign ran last of 7 at Fairgrounds Turf January 8 over 1006m, 11 len behind Bayou Bertie with 54kg at $6.40. Solid return wouldn't surprise.

At the latest run 4th in a small field at Keeneland on April 22 over 1308m, 7 len behind Don't Say It carrying 54.5kg at $12.39. The start before that crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 4th of 11 at Turfway Park on March 26 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Social Belle with 57kg at $34.70. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.
