Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
EXPRESS SUCCESS (8) brings the clearest platform after a debut 3rd at Keeneland over 905m, racing on-speed throughout and holding 3rd by 6.5L; the extra 100m looks suitable. STORM DIVA (4) has race experience at this track after finishing 4th of 7 over 905m when fading late, and can improve second up. Debutantes WASHTON (1), BEE CRAZY (3), HIGH CLASS BROAD (5), ESTARDOTOO (9) and LET HER FLY (10) add depth, but exposed form gives the edge to Express Success and Storm Diva.
