Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
BEST CUPCAKE (3) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Has the right credentials. DON'T SAY IT (7) comes here off a break of three months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at Turfway Park. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. STREET PAINTER (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into sixth. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. VICKI ROSE (6) drifted well back before winding up strongly to score an effortless 2.75 lengths win over 1006m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) last time out. Is a winner at this circuit. Solid claims on best form.
