Churchill Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance

TWIRLING CLAIRE (3) recorded a strong maiden win over 1006m at this track (Turf) last time, getting there by 2.75 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Nicely drawn and she can go on with it. RATIONAL THEORY (9) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Steps up a level but she is capable of running a bold race. TRISKELION (4) has not raced since she scored over 1106m at Gulfstream Park All Weather on November 9. Big run is on the cards. LILIES N PARADISE (1) was prominent at the bend and finished third last time over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. In the right race and is a key runner.
