Churchill Downs - 7/15 - Race 6 - 2yo fillies - STEAM

MOSTBEAUTIFULSTORM is the steam in here...she has been working extremly well in the mornings for top trainer Romans, which included outworking several sets of babies....she is fast and you can expect her to break on top (she is good from the gates) and be VERY tough to reel in....she appears to be the goods and is the play in here if the price cooperates..

TALETOBETOLD is the best filly with racing experience and should be on the board under Leparoux....although Mostbeautifulstorm yields experience to this one she is simply faster and better, but Taletobetold is the most likely to complete the exacta...

NOLA STAR has also displayed ability in the mornings, including having outworked both colts that ran 2nd and 4th for McPeek on Friday in maiden $80K competition....this filly is good enough to make an impact in here but the fact is that she drew HORRIBLY and McPeek is a below average trainer with firsters.....talent may be there but not worth betting to win with the obstacles she'll have to overcome.....still play underneath....

DONNIE'S MADAM is an interesting longshot in here, as she now has two races under her belt (albeit subpar performnaces)....she actually has displayed some ability in the A.M. and deserves to be played in EX and TRI wagers at a big price.....

GALWAY LASS is another filly that has really worked well in the mornings despite being a bit funky....her pedigree and looks indicate that she should want more ground, but if she can break okay and settle in a comfortable position, she seems to have the ability to make up quite a bit of ground on these in the stretch...not crazy about Vance firsters or Victory Gallop firsters but she has some ability...use underneath....

Lastly, SMOKIN' SPIRIT has yet to be set down seriously in the mornings at CD and is a serious sleeper in here....must respect Carroll and use this one underneath...

They will all chase MOSTBEAUTIFULSTORM unless she breaks bad or folds under the pressures of being a first-time starter, but she is the goods in the race and has a win-early pedigree and a very good conditioner to win in her debut....I think TALETOBETOLD experinece should land her at least second and definately third in here, but the other four are good enough and certainly need to be used in the place and show spots....

Good Luck!
