Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
PLAZA CUE (2) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 5 lengths away in third over 2012m at this track (Dirt). Has the ability to take care of this field. LUNAR LOOP (3) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt) in a tougher race. Will benefit from that experience so she will prove tough to beat. SISTER JEAN (1) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last time over 1710m at this track (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. COMMAND THE STARS (4) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 12 lengths over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Expected to do far better this time.
