Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
RANDIE'S RASCAL (8) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1106m at Keeneland Turf (Turf) when third, beaten 3 lengths. Will benefit from that experience so she should pay to follow. SHINING MOMENT (5) will find this a little easier than her second on debut four weeks ago, beaten 6 lengths at the end of 1106m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Will benefit from that experience so she will be hard to beat. WARTIME (10) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fourth at Keeneland Turf (Turf) over 1106m, beaten 7 lengths. Comes into calculations.

Two-year-old colt who is first starter by Midshipman out of Tiz Rae Anna. Key runner likely to measure up.
