Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Allowance
SPUN CANDY (2) started at $3.21 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. TRANSATLANTIC (3) resumed last time out and finished second over 1207m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Likely to be in the finish. MISS ELLE (8) was last at the races when she finished fifth over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) on February 20. Definite top-three chance. DANCEWHENYOUCAN (1) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 5 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1308m. In the mix.

Third-up today. Resuming won by 0.5 len at this track April 25 over 1207m defeating Blasphemous Rumors with 53.5kg at $7.19. Second-up scored a big 5 len win at this track May 25 over 1308m defeating Mamarsha with 53.5kg at $5.58. Won't spend a penny in the run from the inside draw. Good each-way hope.
