Churchill Downs Race 11 - Race 11 - Mdn Special Weight
FOOLS RUSH IN (5) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. BETTER QUALITY (12) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1308m at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Jumps from a wide draw but he shouldn't be a maiden for long. AUTOMATIC PRESS (4) showed good early speed and led around the bend last start before being cut down, finishing fourth and beaten 1.75 lengths over this journey at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). With the blinkers added shapes as one to consider. MONNIE (3) has been freshened up since he finished sixth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) six weeks ago. Can bounce back.
