Churchill Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance
BRILLIANTLY (3) First up from a break. Felt the pinch late when 3rd beaten by 7L last run at Santa Anita and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Go close. MIDWAY MEMORIES (1) Hit the line well when 3rd last start at Tampa Bay Downs and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Showing consistent performance in races. Has the ability to take this out. PLAZA ATHENEE (7) Fresh today after a break of 36 weeks. Pulled away to win by a margin of 4L last time at Gowran Park and good career start. Looks promising in this race. HUMBLED (2) Right in contention last run at Turfway Park and has a positive draw. Will be trying to topple them late. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 2 attempts. Stays under notice.

Good performance to run into 3rd beaten by 5 1/4L last start at Tampa Bay Downs and drawn the rails. Great to see jockey Irad Ortiz Jr taking the ride. Rates as one of the key chances.

Narrowly denied victory last run at Turfway Park and will try to take advantage of the draw. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Has some claims.

Resuming from a spell. Solid run on the pace before weakening to finish 3rd beaten by 7L last run at Santa Anita and promising career start. Strong chance to be considered.
