Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WEST HOLLYWOOD (2) Came in 5th last start at this venue. Can show a better performance this time and gets a favourable stall. Will give a big sight. HERCHEE (10) Was very impressive when winning by 3L last run at Keeneland and have to respect the form at the distance. Can get the job done. HIGGINS BOAT (11) Didn't find the line when 8th last time at this track. In fine form this preparation. Recent form of the stable is strong. Has claims. MIRANDA RIGHTS (5) Below par when 7th last start around here. Has a nice turn of foot. Could run into the placings. Something for the Multiples: NORTHERN INVADER (8) OUT OF DEDUCTIONS (9)
