Churchill Downs Race 10 - Race 10 - Maiden Claiming
SOLAIA (3) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 0.3 lengths. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. WITH KINDNESS (9) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of nine weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Commenced last prep with a minor placing at Gulfstream Park over 1207m. Has ability and is a solid chance. DIAGRAM (1) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track (Dirt) over 1207m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. SMOKIN HOT STUFF (2) fought on for third last start over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
