Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
ASHEVILLE (1) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt). Has upside and can open his account. QUARRY (9) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with bright prospects. FLICK (4) has been in the placings seven times from 12 outings. Last start finished tenth over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Has a sound record here with three top-three finishes from four starts. Right in the mix. THE HUND (8) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1408m at Keeneland, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. Something for the Multiples: NEIGH BABY (2)
