Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
BOX OFFICE (1) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) after being prominent at the corner. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to make a big impact. TAPAKENA (4) finished 4 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1408m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Major player in this line up. BIG SALT LICK (10) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a second over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Among the chief contenders. COME TO PAPA (6) turned in another moderate effort last start when 13 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1710m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
