Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
CAPODOST (10) missed the placings on debut two runs back then didn't feature last start when 14 lengths away in ninth over 1609m at Kentucky. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. CALLIE'S DANCE (2) is a three-start maiden who finished seventh at her most recent appearance over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. SPEECH AND DRAMA (3) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third after she gave away a big start over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge. CHAMITA (6) finished 14 lengths away in eighth at her last appearance over 1609m at Kentucky (Turf) on August 30 after she was well back on straightening. Appeals as a top-four contender.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 51 day let-up. Last start got back early 3rd in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis on July 29 over 1006m, 11 len behind Stella's Mischief with 54kg at $3.80. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on June 5 over 1006m, 4.5 len behind Sweet Mary with 54kg at $6.02. An inside barrier is a big advantage. Winning prospects.
