Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Allowance

SHIPS INN (6) broke through for her maiden win over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) last time. Looks well placed and she is likely to feature in the finish again. MISS ELLE (7) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on June 17, finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Comes here with definite claims. BELLE OF THE BARN (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1106m at Colonial Downs Turf, beaten only half a length after being in contention on the turn. Going up a level this time but she is good enough to play a major role. CAROL'S MELODY (4) improved sharply last time out to score by 0.8 lengths over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt) four weeks ago. Well placed to feature in the finish again.

Filly back from a spell of three months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign by 1.3 len this track June 20 over 1509m defeating Muskoka Katt carrying 53.5kg at $7.79. When resuming last campaign second of 8 at Oaklawn Park February 19 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Hallowed Hall with 55.5kg at $3.30. Should be right in the mix.
