Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Special Weight
SHE'S ALL KRISTI (1) Initial race appearance 2yo by Tapit for trainer Donnie K Von Hemel and gets the perfect gate. Follow the money. FOXIEST (3) Made some ground late when 3rd beaten by just over 2 1/2L last start at Saratoga and having second career run. Won't be far away. DANTINI (5) Finished amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at Colonial Downs and having second career run. William Walden stable are in good form of late and going over more ground. Will give a big sight. SAPPHIRE SONG (2) 2yo runner on debut by Authentic for Riley Mott and has a good draw. Betting as a guide.

Zipped home into 3rd last start at Saratoga and having second career run. Luis Saez and Brad H Cox are usually competitive when they team up. Should go very close.

Rattled home nicely into 3rd last time at Colonial Downs and having second race start. Recent form of the stable is strong and going up in distance. Very tidy performer.

First up and caught the eye when 3rd beaten by 5L first up last preparation at this venue. Putting a tidy record together. Not hopeless.

Odds of $3.75 and hit the line well when 5th last run at Ellis Park and fitter for debut run. Not interested today.

Started $18.00 and folded up in the straight when 11th last start at Ellis Park but fitter for debut run. Likely to settle back in the field. Not threatening these.
