Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Special Weight
TILT A TWIRL (9) brings the best recent MSW effort, finishing 4th at Keeneland over 1408m beaten 2.5L after travelling handy, and the drop to 1207m can suit. ELEOS (4) was runner-up at Tampa Bay Downs over 1308m last start and previously 3rd here over 1207m, so profiles as a key chance. ITCHY (2) has placed in two of his last four, including 3rd over 1207m at Turfway and 2nd over 1308m, and adds blinkers. CERBERUS (3) resumed with a 4th at Gulfstream over 1308m and gets blinkers now.
