Churchill Downs Race 7 - Debutante S. Stakes
TRUE BLESSING (4) Rounded them up when winning last time at Gulfstream Park and was a debutant last start. First start for a new trainer and going up in distance. Looks promising in this race. FREE CLOSER (7) Finished well when winning last run at Santa Anita and having second career run. Possesses very good finishing speed. Going up in trip. Must respect in this event. PIERETTE (2) Charged home to win last start at this venue and having second career run. Drawn nicely. Has the ability to figure. LACK OF RIESLING (6) Controlled the speed to win by a nose last run at the track and racing over a longer distance. First race for a new trainer. Can be competitive.

Finished hard to win last start at Laurel Park and having second race start. Has shown early pace in races to date. Racing over extra ground. Has drawn the rails. Not at all out of this race.

Shot clear to win by a margin of 4 1/2L last start at this venue and was a debutant last start. Should be swooping on the field late. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Was much too speedy in front to win by 1L last time here and was on debut last time. Watch for a sign in the market.

Assumed control from the start when winning by a margin of a nose last run at the track and stepping up in distance. Change in trainer. Could be in the mix.

Made all to win by 1 1/4L last run at Gulfstream Park but competing in a more challenging class. Should jump out and bowl along. Needs a lot of luck.
