Race 10 -- Mdn Special Weight 58k 2 yr. old fillies - 1 1/16 miles
(6) CLEARLY CLAIRE comes in from Keeneland and has been working very impressively at Churchill for Phillip Bauer. Corey "Mr Churchill" Lanerie rides. (1A) CUDDLE KITTEN closed well at Keeneland last time out. It's a Ramsey horse but Joe Sharp trains. Interesting. (10) DELROCK missed by a nose at Saratoga in her last and will look to go wire-to-wire on the lead against these these.
