Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
MACKINAC (7) resumed last time out and finished second over 1308m at Kentucky, beaten half a length. Perfectly placed to score. MOONLIGHT DASH (9) lines up on the back of a 1.1 lengths fourth over 1207m at Churchill Downs. Race sets up well for her. BEACH HEIST (6) safely held last start when beaten 6 lengths into seventh over 1408m at Saratoga (Dirt). Major player on best form. SHIRLEY ANN (5) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf after missing the placings at the previous appearance.
