Churchill Downs Race 8 - Pocahontas S. Stakes

MANUKA HONEY (2) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 1408m in Listed grade at Ellis Park (Dirt). Had plenty on her rivals last time and will go well again. PIERETTE (1) travelled in a rearwards position then made some inroads and finished 6 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1308m at Saratoga six weeks ago as $3.18 favourite. Steps up in distance today. Solid top-three chance. MISS ANNA (7) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 6 length win over 1408m at Ellis Park (Dirt) last time. More weight to carry this time but has definite top three claims. SCARLETT BEGONIA (6) went forward over 1308m in the G3 Adirondack Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) last time but found a couple better. Solid claims.

Returns from a 41-day let-up. Last start got back early 6th of 9 in the G3 Adirondack Stakes at Saratoga on August 2 over 1308m, 6 len behind Stress Relief with 55.5kg at $3.18. The start before that won by 1.5 len in Listed grade at this track at this track on June 28 over 1207m defeating Epic Reign with 54.5kg at $3.53. Capable of more – worth another chance.

Looking to keep her unbeaten record intact. When well in the market on debut, came from midfield and won by 7 len at this track on June 20 over 1006m defeating Callie's Dance with 54kg at $2.67. Last start scored a big 7 len win in Listed grade at Ellis Park at Ellis Park on August 9 over 1408m defeating For The Win with 54.5kg at $1.45. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.
