Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
ROMANTIC LEAD (4) maps as a key chance after a solid 2nd at Turfway over 1609m on 27 Mar, finishing ahead of WISH CAREFULLY (2), and can improve back to this trip after a tougher 1811m run at Keeneland. Wish Carefully (2) also rates well off that same Turfway race when 3rd, and arrives off a freshen. FAST JOKER (1) draws the rail and brings consistent Oaklawn form, including 3rd over 1609m then 4th beaten 1.3L over 1710m on 19 Apr. TISUM (6) is a Churchill 1710m winner and could be an improver returning to this track.

Back in trip 301m and draws barrier 3. Last start 7th of 11 at Keeneland over 1408m on 8 Apr, beaten 11.6L in Claiming 88 after settling back.
