Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
PEACE MISSION (12) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished sixth at her last appearance over 1609m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) on August 16. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. MADDY MANIA (8) stepped out on her debut over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 11 lengths. Will be better for that run. Leading contender. SHINOBU (1) missed the placings on debut two runs back then didn't feature last start when 21 lengths away in ninth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. VALIDIDA (2) was always well back on debut last start but boxed on fairly to finish fourth over 1207m at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Strong top-three chance.

At debut, ran last of 11 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on August 24 over 1106m, 19 len behind Tahaluf carrying 54.5kg at $12.20. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
