Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Allowance
WEST COAST DREAM (2) kicked off this prep with a win five weeks ago, scoring over 1609m at Ellis Park. Likely to be in the finish. DIABLO SHIRAZ (1) was sent out at $27.50 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf). Should be poised just off the lead. Best figures should see her run well. MENKAURE (3) has switched yards since finishing fifth a month ago over 1308m at Ellis Park. Worth plenty of thought. TRUE PRINCESS (5) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths at $31.36. Minor claims.

The start before that 2nd in a small field at Ellis Park on August 17 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind West Coast Dream with 53.5kg at $11.17. Hard to beat again.

Second run back. First-up after two months 5th of 7 at Ellis Park on August 21 over 1308m, 7 len behind Carol's Melody with 53.5kg at $10.85. Previously second-up ran on from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Kentucky on August 31 2025 over 1609m, 2 len behind Diablo Shiraz with 54kg at $6.22. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
