Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Claiming
DISCOTHEQUE (6) brings a string of near-misses and was a nose 2nd at Churchill Downs over 1408m last start; proven at the mile and maps handy. DEVILISH ACT (12) is a key chance off a 2nd at Oaklawn Park over 1609m, beaten 0.1L, and should be strong late. UP COUNTRY (8) has recent placing form including 2nd at Turfway over 1710m and can bounce back dropping in trip. BLUE MOUNTAINS (7) was 3rd at Keeneland over 1710m and ties in with Discotheque from that race.
