Kentucky Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
DITLIHI (9) missed the placings on debut two runs back then didn't feature last start when 7 lengths away in sixth over 1408m at Ellis Park. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is worth another chance. SUN GATE (1) made his debut last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 5 lengths. Drew wide on debut but has the inside gate here. Has upside and deserves another chance. MY BOY GARY (3) turned in a solid run on debut last start, beaten 8 lengths into third at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) over 1609m. Nicely drawn so he is a strong chance. Something for the Multiples: THAT'S FIRE (14) ASHER DASHER (10)
