Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Claiming
WHISPERING CHARM (7) started favourite last time out over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) but found one better, making it four minor placings from five starts this campaign. Will be tough to beat. SHE'S GOTTA GO (1) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 16 lengths starting at $6.27. Has the class to take care of this field. CLOUD NUMBER NINE (2) improved last start to finish third over 1408m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. SWEETBITTERS (6) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.25 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention.
