Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
CHANCE (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 16 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1207m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Worth noting Edgar Morales goes aboard. Nicely placed to test this line-up. UNCLE WILLIAM (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Likely improver with strong prospects. SIDE EYE (2) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 8 lengths over 1106m at this track (Turf). Should settle handy in the run. Capable of testing this field. HONEST AL (11) made progress last start to finish third over 1710m at this track. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
