Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
BETTY'S DANCE (2) got a long way back when 17 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf last start, a less impressive effort than her seventh at Keeneland Turf the run before. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. FUN ON THE BAYOU (1) had a bit on her rivals last time out, scoring an impressive 9 lengths maiden win over 1106m at Hawthorne (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Sure to prove tough to beat again with that win now under her belt. DIABLO SHIRAZ (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1609m at Mahoning Valley after being in contention on the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is right in contention. SPLIT SUCCESS (4) finished fourth over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on October 16. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
