Churchill Downs Race 11 - Race 11 - Mdn Claiming
HOOPS RIVALRY (2) returns after 14 months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Looks the one to beat. WARRIOR SOPHIE (7) finished fifth over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) at her most recent appearance on July 13. Expect her to play a major role. SISTER WIFE (6) had been racing well before she was safely held last time out when seventh over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt). Better than that and is among the leading chances. LUNAR LOOP (1) finished 11th two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1710m at Keeneland, beaten 9 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Keeneland on October 9 over 1710m, 9 len behind Watershed Moment carrying 54.5kg at $1.95. The start before that ran second last of 12 at this track on September 12 over 1308m, 18 len behind Army's Marauder with 55kg at $60.31. Strong each-way hope with the assistance of the inside stall.
