Kentucky Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
DON'T LOOK NOW (8) finished 5.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 2213m at Saratoga Inner Turf five weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Sure to prove very tough to beat. ROILING (2) finished second, beaten half a length, when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) after she was in contention on the corner. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. ELIDA'S ANGEL (3) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 2414m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. MARCINKOWSKI (4) is a eight-start maiden who was prominent throughout last time and stuck on well to finish second over 1811m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf). Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Should give backers a sight.
