Churchill Downs Race 8 - Winning Colors S. Stakes
USHA (7) settled towards the tail then wound up strongly to finish 4 lengths away in third when resuming last start over 1408m in the G1 Derby City Distaff Stakes at this track (Dirt). Back a level after tackling a tougher race last time. Major player. KAPOOR (5) has scored at her last four starts, most recently by 6 lengths over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from three runs. Big chance once again. ZEITLOS (3) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1207m at Listed level at this track (Dirt) after she travelled towards the rear of the field. Has further improvement to come and can find peak form this time. ONE MAGIC PHILLY (6) raced on the pace over 1207m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to win by 2 lengths. Solid claims.

Comes off a 37 day let-up. Last start won by 1.75 len at Oaklawn Park April 18 over 1207m defeating Mendela with 56.5kg at $7.10. The start before that came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Oaklawn Park March 14 over 1207m defeating Appealing Addie with 53.5kg at $2.60. Might need easier race.
