Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
MODERN SOUND (5) last raced when successful by half a length over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) three months ago. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. One of the genuine hopes in the race. TEMPTING EVE (6) finished 8 lengths from the winner in seventh on turf at Churchill Downs Turf two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at Churchill Downs Turf over 1106m when 6 lengths adrift in eighth. Major player back on the dirt. TURKISH PISTACHIO (8) turned things around last start and scored by 3 lengths after being in contention on the bend over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is good enough to cope. TAQDEER (9) had been in great form winning two on end before finishing second last start over 1408m at this track. Drops back in journey this time.

Third-up today. Resuming won by 3 len at Fairmount Park April 28 over 1106m defeating Mindy's Union carrying 56kg at $1.70. Last start 4th of 8 at Fairmount Park on May 30 over 1106m, 3 len behind Cloey Attack carrying 57kg at $12. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. At the latest run sat on the pace before fading ran second last of 9 at this track on May 25 over 1207m, 13 len behind Rational Theory with 56kg at $10.72. The race before that won by 1.75 len at Oaklawn Park April 12 over 1207m defeating Amazing Amanda with 55kg at $3.90. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.
