Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Allowance
TALKIN IN CURSIVE (3) showed good pace and kicked strongly to score over 1308m at Keeneland (Dirt) last time. Has the pace and draw for a good early position and is likely to play a major role. LADY ANNABELLE (7) reunites with Silvestre Gonzalez after scoring with ease over 1408m in Listed grade at Parx (Dirt) last time. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be in the finish. MIRACLE BALL (5) is back from a spell of nine weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1106m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Capable of playing a major role. AWESOME PIC (11) won at Colonial Downs (Dirt) two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing sixth over 1207m at Delaware Park (Dirt). Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.

Second-up. First-up after six months scored a big 9 len win at Prairie Meadows on September 19 over 1207m defeating She's Never Wrong with 55kg at $2.90. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Zia Park on November 4 2024 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Olivia Twist carrying 55kg at $18.10. This is tougher so prefer others.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th in a small field at Keeneland on October 23 over 1408m, 4 len behind Sassy Princess with 55kg at $3.17. Before that 2nd of 9 at this track on September 25 over 1207m, 2 len behind Talkin In Cursive carrying 55kg at $5.05. Solid prospects and a good gate doesn't hurt.
