Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
RANDIE'S RASCAL (7) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1006m at this track (Turf). Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. EZ PAL (4) is on debut for the W A Ward stable. Two-year-old colt by Golden Pal from Gun Girl. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. AUGUST (8) is facing the starter for the first time. By Into Mischief and comes from the Mark E Casse stable. Expected to feature.
