Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
IRONCLAD (4) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1408m at Belmont Park Turf (Turf) after being in the firing line on the corner. Facing a tougher assignment but she is good enough to make a big impact. ALTADENA (8) turned in an eye-catching run over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt) last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Well placed to feature again. PARADISE STREET (7) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished fourth at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) over 1106m when first-up last time in work. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. HEITZGIRL (2) is yet to break through in six runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 2 lengths away in fifth over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf) last time. This looks a nice race for her.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 58 day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 11 at Kentucky on September 9 over 1308m, 0.5 len behind Paris Twilight carrying 55kg at $9.70. The start before that 3rd of 11 at Ellis Park Turf on August 22 over 1106m, nose behind Balright carrying 53.5kg at $7.44. Worth thought on latest effort.
