Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
SEATON SPRINGS (4) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Big chance based on that effort. FRONTLINE FURY (7) looked good at her only appearance seven months ago over 905m at Keeneland (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver and should feature in the finish. MYMY'S MAP (6) is a first-starter by Liam's Map from Tap Of War who has in turn produced the winner of a black type. Promising type who is one to keep a close eye on in betting. ROSE QUEST (3) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and is having her first outing under new trainer D Whitworth Beckman. Finished sixth at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf) over 1006m at the opening run last time in work.
