Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
BEACH BALLAD (10) Resuming after a break. Ran 5th last time at Kentucky Downs. Overlooking the last run. First start for a new trainer. Must respect. SUTURA (9) Honest run on the speed before fading to finish 2nd last run at Santa Anita. Has run into the placings at every start this campaign. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. HEY MISS OLIVIA (6) Finished 8th last run at Kentucky Downs. Serious player. KRISTI'S SPIRIT (1) Initial race appearance 3yo by Liam's Map for Philip A Bauer and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Market as guide.

Odds of $16.00 and was well beaten when 5th last start at Keeneland. Too much luck needed to come into contention.

Jumped at $18.00 and faded to finish 5th last start at Keeneland and back in trip. Has early speed and positions nicely. Better to look elsewhere.
