Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
OUR STARRY NIGHT (13) finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in second on debut last start over 1006m at this track (Turf). Tricky draw to overcome but he should be in the finish again. MONTEREY BAY (7) was close to breaking through last time in work, closing the prep as favourite and finishing third at Woodbine before a 11 months break. Expect he has come on over the break. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. OUTOFPI (16) was in the firing line on the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1006m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. SHIP SHIP HOORAY (9) was beaten 4.5 lengths into third at Keeneland two starts ago then finished 6 lengths from the winner in fifth last time at this track (Dirt). Has ability and rates among the chances. Something for the Multiples: WHITE WHALE (4)
