Kentucky Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
PASSWORD (1) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt) when he was in the firing line all the way. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. IRISH LAW (2) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1609m at Ellis Park (Turf). Likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. LEVERAGE (4) made a promising debut over 1509m at Delaware Park (Turf) last start, finishing second and beaten 0.3 lengths. Has plenty of upside so he is a strong chance. RISK (3) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1609m at Gulfstream Park (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. Fitter for that run. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
