Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
CHI TOWN PRINCE (6) Worked hard to place 2nd last start at Mahoning Valley and showing improvement in recent outings. Gerardo Corrales and Larry Rivelli are an imposing duo. Challenged by a tougher grade. Must respect. A CAB ON THE ROCKS (4) Led and controlled the pace to win by a margin of 1 1/2L last time at Colonial Downs. Will be competitive. IMPERIAL RULER (11) Was well beaten when 10th last start at Keeneland and facing a stronger grade. Jockey Yarmarie L Correa and trainer Ismael Bahena link well together. Exotics hope in this event. ALTER BOY (13) Made all when winning by 2 3/4L last time at Mahoning Valley. Should be rolling forward early from the wide barrier. Capable of better. Something for the Multiples: MR. SENSEI (5) SHADOW COAST (3) GUARDIAN (2)

Jumped at $14.00 and ran 6th last start at Oaklawn Park but has drawn to do little work. Likely to get back in the field. Up in grade. Can run into the placings.

Jumped at $11.00 and faded at the finish when 4th last run at Keeneland and will try to take advantage of the gate. Expecting to settle positively. Place best.

Resuming after a break. Was outmuscled when 3rd beaten by 7L last run at Gulfstream Park and has been racing in stronger company. Likely to be well placed early. Respect the betting.

Odds of $18.00 and didn't find the line when 9th last time at Fair Grounds but drops back to a suitable class. Will be dropping in distance. Hard to see this being good enough.
