Turfway Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
MENKAURE (1) improved last start to finish third over 1609m at Churchill Downs after being in contention on the bend. Tackling a more suitable race so she is one of the main contenders. SUDDEN SQUALL (14) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. RAGE BAIT (3) was well in the market on debut last start but finished a disappointing fourth at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1207m. Likely improver and capable of a far better run. GIRL NAMED KNICKI (5) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at Churchill Downs, beaten 5 lengths. Finds a nice race and can keep improving.
