Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
JUNEAU (4) is yet to break through after four career starts. Managed to find the placings at Saratoga (Dirt) two starts back before finishing fourth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf) last start. Can break through in this suitable contest. DICE SHOT (1) is on debut for the William Walden stable. Two-year-old filly by Flameaway from Lesia Jane. Likely to have an economical run from this favourable draw. Looks a definite contender, particularly if the money comes. PRINCESS CHANTY (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf, beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MOLLY MCIVER (9) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Ellis Park Turf, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form.

The start before that 5th of 7 at Colonial Downs Inner Turf on July 11 over 1609m, 4 len behind Mightily carrying 54kg at $3.50. Can easily finish right over the top of these.

At debut, ran last of 12 at Kentucky on August 30 over 1609m, 51 len behind Quibbler with 54kg at $10.64. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.

Raced two times to date. At debut, ran last of 8 at Ellis Park on July 31 over 1408m, 52 len behind Marblehead with 54kg at $10.25. Second-up raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 12 at Kentucky on August 30 over 1609m, 13 len behind Quibbler with 54kg at $8.38. Better off investing elsewhere.
