Churchill Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming
CLICK (11) is progressing well, last time out finishing second over 1408m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the turn. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. GORRONO RANCH (3) resumes from a nine months spell and looked close to a win before the break, starting favourite and finishing third at Kentucky (Turf). Jumps from a nice gate. Good chance to open this campaign on a winning note. POPPY WOPPY (5) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fifth after being in the firing line on the turn. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. VEOLA (8) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of ten weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1006m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Launched last prep with a minor placing at Gulfstream Park Turf over 1006m. Can kick off with a bold showing.
