Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
TIFFANY TWIST (6) fought on for third last start over 1408m at Ellis Park (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to test this field. SWEET NOTE (4) finished 8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at Saratoga four weeks ago as $3.41 favourite. Steps up in journey today. Strong record with Tyler Gaffalione in the irons, including a win. Will strip fitter and is one of the big chances. FUGITIVE STAR (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when seventh, beaten 10 lengths, over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt). Should be peaking now and is ready to show what she can do. BEST CUPCAKE (2) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Nicely placed to maintain the form.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd in a small field at Saratoga on July 31 over 1207m, nose behind Mursal with 56kg at $5.05. Second-up 4th of 8 at Saratoga on August 28 over 1207m, 8 len behind City Blocks with 55kg at $3.41. Fitter and should relish the step up to 1408m.
