By Rick Francis —-

CHURCHILL DOWNS

Race 8) 1&1/8th Mile. La Troienne S. presented by Twinspires.com Grade I. Purse $500,000 FOR FILLIES AND MARES FOUR YEARS OLD AND UPWARD
Post Time: ( 3:03)/ 2:03/ 1:03/12:03

2) Shedaresthedevil (Cox/Geroux); Daredevil filly is the real deal having won 4-of-5; reigning Kentucky Oaks champion exits the Grade 2 Azeri where she held off one of the best in Letruska. She’ll stare the competition in the eye and put them away.

5) Paris Lights (Mott/Gaffalione); Curlin filly enters on a 4-race win streak, last two both game efforts in taking the Grade 1 CCA Oaks at Saratoga and the G3 Distaff Handicap at Aqueduct.

7) Finite (Asmussen/Santana); out of Munnings filly is 3-for-3 at Churchill, and being a 3-time graded stakes winner with one of those victories coming over Swiss Skydiver in the Grade 2 Rachel Alexandra.

3) Dunbar Road (Brown/Ortiz, I.); exits a pair of disappointing thirds going a 16th longer; cutting back to a route she’s won 3-of-4 makes her a threat.
