Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
DARING MADISON (4) went forward last start over 1609m at this track (Turf) and held on well for second, beaten 2.5 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. CYNICAL HUMOR (5) finished 7 lengths adrift in seventh when fresh from a layoff last start over 1710m at this track (Turf). Should come on from that last outing. Ideally placed to get off the mark. MAVERICK QUEEN (6) is back after a break of six-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 1710m at this track (Turf). Nicely placed and can get off the mark. BABYSITTER (8) finished 19 lengths away in 11th at her last appearance over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on May 22. Solid top-three chance on her best figures.
