Churchill Downs Race 1

Claiming

Stake: -

SWEET BEBSI (4) Led all the way to win by a margin of 2 1/4L last start here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. First start for a new trainer. Can win this. VICKI ROSE (1) Couldn't find the line when 4th last run at Turfway Park and can save some energy from the draw. Shows good early pace. Should be right in the finish. SPOTAWAY (2) Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd beaten by 3 3/4L last run at Keeneland and drawn nicely. Likely to be well placed early. Up against stronger rivals. Deserves consideration. UP THE CREEK (3) First up after 8 weeks and came on strongly to finish 3rd first up last preparation at Oaklawn Park. Facing formidable competition. Can feature.

Started $6.00 and didn't maintain the pace throughout when 4th last run at Turfway Park and has drawn to do little work. Should muster plenty of early speed. Good winning chance.

Was strong on the speed before fading to finish 3rd last run at Keeneland and has a good draw. Should be going forward early. Racing in stronger company. Has a good chance.

Struggled with the pace when 6th last time at Keeneland but matched against a less competitive field. Won't be far away during the run. A difficult test here.
