Kentucky Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
CAPODOST (8) faced the starter for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 8 lengths. Expected to finish much closer with the race experience on board. SOCK MONKEY (4) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 1.1 lengths from the winner in third over 1106m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf). Can open winning account this time. TODAY ISA GIFT (7) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Ellis Park Turf, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to break the maiden status. LA NOCHE NEGRA (12) made her debut last start at a big quote but defied the market to grab second, beaten a nose, over 1106m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf). Open to plenty of improvement.

Third race start. First start 3rd in a small field at Keeneland Turf on April 24 over 1106m, 17 len behind More Champagne carrying 54kg at $17.68. Returned from break 5th of 7 at Ellis Park on August 17 over 1609m, 18 len behind Donie Maronie with 54kg at $11.85. Needs more time.

Had two starts to date. At long odds at debut, 8th of 12 at Churchill Downs on June 20 over 1006m, 18 len behind Manuka Honey with 54kg at $26.65. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Ellis Park Turf on July 4 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Smoke with 54kg at $19.71. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.
