Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

LEXI'S MELODY (7) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten half a length. Hard to beat. ASHES AND DIAMONDS (3) finished out of the money two starts back then she was always well out of her ground and was beaten 12 lengths when seventh in a 1207m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the talent to put the recent run of form behind her. SHE'S GOTTA GO (8) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a win at Ellis Park at the previous outing. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. MUSTANG LADY (2) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing second over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Among the chances.
