Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
BOURBON NOTES (6) was never in contention when 16 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1207m at Keeneland last start, a less impressive effort than her sixth at Kentucky the run before. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LEXI'S MELODY (3) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1308m at this track (Dirt), finishing fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PERPETUA (5) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and she is a solid top-three hope. ROCKIN THE LANE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.
