Kentucky Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance
MECHAYA (8) met with solid support last start over 1609m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) when sixth, beaten 5 lengths. Blinkers come off now. Sure to go well. KILBY GIRL (3) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when second over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf) nine weeks ago which was the only run of that prep. Has a strong fresh record including a win and one minor placings. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Leading contender. JUDICIOUS (9) is racing well, scoring by 0.8 lengths two back at Ellis Park (Dirt) then finishing a respectable fourth last time over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) when not too far away. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give backers a great sight. BRILAND (12) made late ground and finished second last time over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf), beaten 1.3 lengths. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp.
