Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
PRAIRIE PRINCESS (5) has not appeared since she finished fifth over 1811m at Saratoga on July 16. Nicely placed and expected to go well. LOVERS CARRIL (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.1 lengths from the winner in second over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis after being prominent at the corner. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is right in contention. COGNIZANT (2) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance five months ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. ENCHANTINGMISTRESS (6) faced the starter for the first time and finished sixth last start at Keeneland (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 9 lengths. Can improve sharply.

Filly back from a spell of five months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign second in a small field at this track June 3 over 1609m, 0.8 len behind Full Dolly carrying 53.5kg at $4.36. When resuming last campaign seventh of 12 at this track May 9 over 1408m, 7 len behind Tanya's Momentum with 53.5kg at $16.12. Could prove too smart for these.
