Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
LADY SYBIL (5) did little and finished 5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1811m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth on debut at Keeneland Turf the run before. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SPIN A TUNE (7) finished third on debut 11 months ago, beaten 4 lengths over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf), and has not been produced since. Likely improver and can feature again. R P BYRNE (11) started favourite at the last run before a break but could only manage second at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Can pick up where she left off. Among the leading chances. Something for the Multiples: SERENA'S SURPRISE (16) GINGER ALE (9)
