Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
CYBER GAL (5) did a good job last start to finish second at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 0.1 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Top chance. LESS TALKING (3) is a two-year-old filly by Justify out of Dance Awhile stepping out on debut for the Chad C Brown stable. Likely to enjoy a nice run from this favourable draw. Should acquit herself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. LADY CARMEN (1) did little and finished 8 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1609m at Kentucky last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth on debut at Ellis Park Turf the run before. Has the class to put the recent run of form behind her. CRUISING AGAIN (6) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished sixth over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Sure to be about the money.
