Churchill Downs Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Special Weight
THE FINAL SECRET (3) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1408m at Ellis Park (Dirt) when second, beaten 6 lengths. Nicely drawn so she should pay to follow. FUMED (4) raced handy on debut last start and gave a good sight, holding on for third and beaten 0.8 lengths over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf). Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. SOCK MONKEY (12) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Kentucky over 1609m. Has a wide gate to overcome but on recent form is hard to leave out. TODAY ISA GIFT (2) was beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1609m at Kentucky last time out. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. Something for the Multiples: SOUTHERN WAY (1)

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 12 at Kentucky on August 30 over 1609m, 4 len behind Quibbler carrying 54kg at $10.71. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Ellis Park Turf on July 4 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Smoke carrying 54kg at $19.71.
