Kentucky Downs Race 12 - Race 12 - Maiden Special Weight
MAYWEATHER (3) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 5.5 lengths into third over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Has a high cruising speed. Will give a great sight. ORBIT (15) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 3 lengths into third over 1710m at Saratoga (Turf). Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Among the leading chances. DROP SHOT (4) is a two-year-old colt who lines up for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Essential Quality from the stakes winner Centre Court. Has fared well at the barrier draw and looks certain to be competitive. SECRET MARRIAGE (8) debuted four weeks ago when he finished fourth over 1106m at Ellis Park (Turf), beaten 5 lengths. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well.
