Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
QUEEN OF QUEENS (5) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. TURKISH PISTACHIO (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Safely held last time out when sixth over 1408m at Keeneland, beaten 17 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. DANCEWHENYOUCAN (2) last appeared a month ago over 1207m at Keeneland when she finished second. This is her first run for the Cipriano Contreras stable. Well-placed and is among the chances. MADELINE'S PROMISE (7) last raced when successful by 0.3 lengths over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt) nine weeks ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
