Featured Track/Race:   Churchill Downs – Race 9 
   
Race overview:  A deep and competitive MSW routing on the turf. 
   
Pace:  It’s a full field, so things should be honest up front, though there doesn’t appear to be any burners in here either. 
   
Trends:  The turf has been used quite sparingly, so it’s tough to see any concrete trends. 
   
Best Play:  #9 SRI LANKA (4-1) (turf only): Munnings filly returns fresh for a Walsh barn that is white-hot, and all she needs is clear sailing after a nightmare GP trip last time. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
