Churchill Downs Race 9 - Fasig-Tipton Locust Grove S. Stakes

SPLENDORA (1) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 5.5 lengths win over 1710m in the G2 Molly Pitcher Stakes at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will prove tough to beat. SIMPLY JOKING (2) found a couple better when resuming last start in the G1 Clement L Hirsch Stakes at Del Mar (Dirt) over this distance after she was in contention on the turn. Is yet to miss the frame from four starts at this distance, including two wins. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Leading contender. IMMERSIVE (4) returns from a layoff of 11 weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1408m at Aqueduct. Boasts a first-up record of two wins and two placings from four starts. Can make her presence felt. MISS AUTHENTIC (5) was an impressive first-up winner last time out in an easier race over 1609m at Listed level at Colonial Downs (Dirt), getting home by 0.3 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and she can measure up again.
