Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
TOAST THE STAR (1) brings the sharpest recent turf sprint form, twice 3rd at 1106m including last start at Keeneland when charging from well back, beaten 1.3L. FANCY LADY (9) appeals on class with a narrow 2nd at Santa Anita over 1308m two back before a forgiven 5th, and the drop to 1005m could suit. VICTOR VALLEY (8) was 2nd here over 1006m in November and has been holding handy positions in recent runs; each-way hope. CHEDDAR (5) debuted 4th at Fair Grounds over 1106m after racing on speed and can improve second up.
