Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
FLETCH'S ROCKETTE (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1207m at Keeneland after being prominent at the corner. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. IRONCLAD (8) remains a maiden after three runs. Met with plenty of support last time but could only manage to finish fourth over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. QUALITY LACE (7) is on debut. By Quality Road and is out of the David Fawkes stable. Respect any positive move in betting. TREAT YOURSELF (2) is a two-start maiden who filled a minor placing at this track (Dirt) at the last run before spelling. Can pick up where she left off. Can kick off with a bold showing.

Three-year-old filly who is first starter by Quality Road out of Embellish The Lace. Key runner likely to measure up.

Third-up today. First-up held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Belmont Park Turf on September 25 over 1408m, 2.5 len behind Amicable Farce with 56kg at $7.41. Second run from a spell 4th of 10 at Churchill Downs Turf on November 6 over 1106m, 2 len behind Lexi V carrying 55.5kg at $3.22. Shows promise. Will take beating.
