Churchill Downs Race 11 - Race 11 - Allowance Optional Claiming
ROYAL JUSTICE (1) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 0.3 lengths last time out over 1710m at Listed level at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Finds a tougher race but she has the ability to test this field. DAISY FLYER (2) is a talented filly who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 6 lengths behind Totally Justified over 1710m at Listed level at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Will appreciate this easier race. SNIPSNIPPITYSNIP (10) is a talented filly who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 4.5 lengths behind Evershed over 2213m in the G3 Waya Stakes at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Nicely placed and can feature on her best form. SOL D'ORO (3) finished fifth over 2213m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) at her most recent appearance on July 19. Sure to make her presence felt.
