Churchill Downs Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Special Weight
GREAT ROMANCE (2) Cherie Devaux trained 2yo by Nyquist on debut and has a good draw. Watch the betting. JUST PEACHY (4) Was strong late when 3rd last start at Keeneland and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation. Will be competitive. THAT'S GABRIELLE (6) First time at the races 2yo by Constitution for trainer Cherie Devaux. Betting as a guide. VENETIAN BAY (7) 2yo by Army Mule having first race start for trainer Jr Thomas Drury. Respect the betting.

Started at $6.50 and came in 6th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis but racing over more ground. Has good closing speed. Drawn the rails. Definite claims.

Fresh today. Started $23.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 10th last time at Ellis Park but having second career run. Will be positive in the run early. Will need to lift.

Started $18.00 and got tired late when 5th last run at Keeneland and was on debut last time. Has plenty of early speed. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

At $28.00 was found wanting late when 4th last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis and fitter for debut run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Going up in trip. Rough hope.

First up. Was $14.00 and weakened to finish 9th last run at Kentucky Downs but was a debutant last start. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Much prefer the look of others in this race.
