Churchill Downs Race 5 - Leslie's Lady Overnight S. Stakes
IMPULSE BUY (3) tackled the Eight Belles Stakes over 1408m at this track last time out when fresh from a spell and was beaten 8 lengths into eighth by Look Forward. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. EVANESCENCE (6) is racing well. Scored at Keeneland (Dirt) two back then finished third, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1408m in the G2 Eight Belles Stakes at this track (Dirt) at the latest appearance five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Sure to be in the finish. KILWIN (4) ran second at her latest appearance over 1106m at this track, finishing 4 lengths from the winner. Serious contender. ECLATANT (1) had support when resuming last time out but never threatened when a disappointing ninth, beaten 12 lengths, over 1408m in the G2 Eight Belles Stakes at this track (Dirt). Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Should give backers a sight.
