Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Allowance
COQUITO (1) was an effortless winner last time over 1609m at Colonial Downs (Dirt), scoring by 3.5 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Likely to feature. GYPSAN (4) last appeared six weeks ago over 1408m at Ellis Park when she finished seventh. This is her first run for the Aaron Shorter stable. Sure to be primed for this. STAY BEAUTIFUL (2) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by 4 lengths over 1673m at Belterra Park (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins from six starts. Can feature again. EVALINA (5) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 4 lengths over 1673m at Belterra Park (Dirt) last time out. Do not underestimate.

Form hard to fault. Most recently scored a big 3.5 len win at Colonial Downs on August 22 over 1609m defeating Antonacci Girl carrying 56kg at $1.70. The start before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Saratoga on August 7 over 1408m, 4 len behind Mursal with 56kg at $2.72. Big chance again.

Racing well recently. At the latest run scored a big 4 len win at Belterra Park on September 5 over 1673m defeating Faena carrying 54kg at $2.80. The race before that won by a 0.3 len at Belterra Park on August 1 over 1609m defeating Red Beretta with 51.5kg at $5. Ideally placed to play a significant role.
