Churchill Downs Race 12 - Tepin S. Stakes
EAST JABIP (3) Ran 5th last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Likely to bounce back and competing in an easier class. Should jump out and bowl along. Irad Ortiz Jr is a bonus. Won't be far away. TAM TAM (9) Placed 3rd last start at this venue but up against a higher level of opposition. Jockey Junior Alvarado and trainer Philip A Bauer have a high strike rate together. Has to be included. FINAL ACCORD (4) Competitive effort when 2nd last time at Penn National and solid career start. Flavien Prat is a plus but facing stiffer opposition. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . USE ME (10) Hit the line well when 5th last time at Laurel Park and putting a tidy record together. Shows good finishing speed. Up in grade. Worth consideration.
