Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
FLAMING VERDICT (3) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 6 lengths. Has a low draw so she will prove tough to beat. NAUTI TALK (12) is a two-year-old filly by Speaker's Corner out of Whats Yur Story set to debut for the B H Cox stable. Should acquit herself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. COWGIRL TUFF (9) faced the starter for the first time and finished seventh last start at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 14 lengths. One of the contenders at her second run back with blinkers added. VOLI TE (4) is appearing for the first time. By Volatile and hails from the Joe Sharp stable. Watch the market closely.
