Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Claiming
LEXICO (4) brings consistent recent form, finishing 3rd at Keeneland over 1710m last start and placing in three of her past five runs at this level and trip. LADY FAYE (10) is a key chance, coming off a narrow 2nd at Turfway Park over 1609m, and has four placings from her last five. HARDLY READY (1) also appeals after a 2nd at Turfway Park over 1308m, beaten less than a length. MODERN ESCAPE (5) was 3rd at Turfway Park three starts back but has since struggled. OCEAN RIPPLE (9) resumes after a long break but did place 2nd at Gulfstream Park over 1609m last year. Lexico (4), Lady Faye (10), and Hardly Ready (1) look the main hopes based on recent placings.

Three-year-old filly by Siyouni making her debut for Joe Sharp. Draws barrier 3 with Irad Ortiz, Jr. to ride. Bred to handle this trip and worth keeping safe on debut. In with a chance.

Last start finished 11th of 12 at Keeneland over 1609m, beaten 13.3L. Best recent effort was a 3rd at Turfway Park in January, coming from well back. Drops 4kg in weight and steps up slightly in trip. Needs to find improvement but not without hope.
