Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
PRINCE OF BROADWAY (7) Underwhelming when 4th last run at Aqueduct but showing consistent performance in races. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr is an asset. Strong chance. LLAMP (4) Assumed control from the start when winning by a margin of just short of 7L last run at the track. Should race on the speed. Respect. MENKAURE (3) Strong effort to the line to win last run around here but stepping up to a higher level. First appearance for a new trainer. Expected to be flashing home. Expect to go close. NIGHTMARE FUEL (1) Went to the front and never looked back when winning by a margin of 2L last start around here and drawn beautifully. Shows good early pace. Might be one for the placings.

Did well to run into 2nd beaten by 2 3/4L last run at this venue and gets a favourable alley. Displays good tactical speed. Up against a more competitive field. Hard to see it being good enough.

Ran on hard when winning last run at this venue but up against a higher level of opposition. First race for a new trainer. Shows good closing speed. Very tidy performer.

Was $4.33 and appeared lacklustre when 4th last run at Aqueduct but promising career start. Gains the services of jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. Has a good chance.

Attacked the line when 2nd last run at Keeneland but matched against tougher rivals. Should jump out and bowl along. First appearance for a new trainer. Prefer in something easier.
