Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
NOVO MESTO (11) settled back on debut last start then made a dash forward before the turn and stuck on well to finish second over 1609m at this track (Turf). Has plenty of upside and is worth following up. PACIANO (5) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. RUMBELIEVABLE (2) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1609m at Kentucky (Turf). Finds the right race and is worth consideration. DADDY'S NUGGET (7) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Rodolphe Brisset. By Medaglia D'oro from Daddy Is A Legend. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
