Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

UP THE CREEK (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CAROL'S MELODY (6) was sent out at $86.70 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt). Should feature in the finish again. SWEET BEBSI (4) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished second at Turfway Park (Synthetic) two starts back then scored by 2.25 lengths as favourite last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running another bold race. SPOTAWAY (2) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1308m at Keeneland. This looks a good race for her so another forward showing looks likely. Something for the Multiples: VICKI ROSE (1)

The race before that 2nd in a small field at Turfway Park on March 18 over 1207m, 2 len behind Lady Virago with 56kg at $6.21. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.

Returns from a 43-day let-up. Most recently 6th of 8 at Keeneland on April 9 over 1207m, 15 len behind Sweet Scorecard carrying 53.5kg at $32.75. The race before that 6th of 8 at Turfway Park on March 11 over 1308m, 16 len behind Alta Avenue carrying 55.5kg at $8.80. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.

Comes here off a 43-day let-up. Last start won by 2.5 len at Keeneland April 9 over 1408m defeating Merry Madison with 53.5kg at $86.70. The start before that 9th of 12 at Turfway Park on February 28 over 1207m, 14 len behind Tiger Division with 53.5kg at $23.36. Hard to beat if she brings her A-game.
