Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Special Weight
COUPLET (10) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Can get off the mark this time. SERENA'S SURPRISE (9) finished second on debut ten weeks ago, beaten one length over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic), and has not been produced since. Drawn out a bit but should be in the finish. SONHADOR (5) returned from a spell seven weeks ago when she was beaten 12 lengths into fifth over 1710m at Keeneland. Has been in the money at each second up start. Fitter so expect a better run this time. CURLIN'S CHARM (6) is a three-year-old filly on debut by Curlin from Charm The Maker who has been a prolific producer including a winner at the elite level. Promising type who cannot be left out of calculations.

Second run back. Comes off a 49-day let-up. First-up after four months second last in a small field at Keeneland on April 18 over 1710m, 12 len behind Reality Star carrying 57kg at $8.26. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at this track on September 26 over 1710m, 2.75 len behind Crimsonite with 56kg at $3.23. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
