Kentucky Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
BEACH BALLAD (2) is racing well without winning. Last start finished second, beaten 3 lengths, over 1710m at Saratoga (Turf). Top contender. LOVE A LITTLE MO (9) missed the placings on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1710m at Ellis Park, beaten half a length after being prominent at the corner. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. NONCONSECUTIVETRMS (14) fought on well for third last start over 1710m at Ellis Park (Turf), making it two minor placings in a row. Going well enough to overcome the tricky draw. MAIORA (10) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1609m at Saratoga (Turf). Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
