Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Claiming
WHISPERING CHARM (7) Solid effort when placing 2nd last run at Oaklawn Park. Should jump out and bowl along. Showing great form this preparation. Solid claims. CLOUD NUMBER NINE (2) Finished strongly when 3rd last start at this track and gets a favourable gate. Has a great burst of speed late. Gets a chance to win. SHE'S GOTTA GO (1) Folded up in the straight when 5th last time at this track. Is capable of a resurgence and has drawn the rails. Recent form of Jr Thomas Drury is strong. Each way bet for sure. NOLA LOUISE (5) Back from a 66 week break. Looked outclassed when 10th last run at Turfway Park but showing consistent performance in races. Can surprise and by no means out of it.

Started at $6.00 and didn't attack the line when 5th last time at this track. Is capable of a resurgence and gets the perfect gate. Coming back in distance. Could take this out.

Nice effort to run into 3rd last start at this venue and can find a nice position from the draw. Finishes off strongly. Very capable of taking this out.

Started at $5.50 and made some ground when 5th last start here. First appearance for a new trainer. Likely to settle back in the field. Overlook from a betting angle.

First up after a 66 week break. Jumped at $12.00 and weakened to finish 10th last run at Turfway Park but honest performer putting a tidy record together. Not at all out of this race.

Hit the line well when 2nd beaten by 4 1/4L last run at Oaklawn Park. Should muster plenty of early toe. Has every chance.

Jumped at $23.00 and gave away some ground when 6th last time at this venue and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Displays good tactical speed. Looks too tough.

Odds of $53.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 6th last run at the track. Yet to break maiden status after 14 starts. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Very hard to have.
