Churchill Downs Race 10 - Iroquois S. Stakes
SALAHUDIN (7) Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 4 1/2L last run at Ellis Park but competing in a more challenging grade. Looks to be value. CARIBBEAN LIFE (1) Won with a leg in the air by 3 1/4L last time at Ellis Park and having second career run. Jockey Flavien Prat is a strong choice aboard. Gets a chance to win. ANTIVENOM (6) Fresh today. Won by a big margin of 3 1/2L last run at Ellis Park and having second race start. Going up in trip. Competing in a higher grade. Cracking each way value. HE IS NO LIE (8) Struggled when 4th last run at Del Mar but facing weaker opposition. Should come to hand quickly. In fine form since returning from a spell and stepping up in trip. Needs some luck and is an each way suggestion.

Bolted in when winning by 3 1/4L last time at Ellis Park and fitter for debut run. Jockey Flavien Prat is a plus and gets the perfect alley. Should go very close.

First up. Was eating up the ground late when winning last run at the track and rising in distance. Should be swooping on the field late. Has a positive barrier. Remote chance at best.

Good result placing 3rd last start at Ellis Park but facing a stronger group of contenders. Won't be far away during the run. Facing a difficult task today.

Jumped at $9.50 and made ground when closing off to finish 5th last time at Kentucky Downs but challenged by more formidable competitors. Shows good closing speed. Others are better.

Resuming after a spell. Made a mess of them when winning by 3 1/2L last run at Colonial Downs and having second career run. Up against tougher rivals. Marginal contender.

Back after a spell. Pulled away to win by 3 1/2L last run at Ellis Park and was a debutant last start. Facing an increased distance. Facing formidable rivals. Not at all out of this race.

Was strong to the line when winning by 4 1/2L last run at Ellis Park but competing at a higher level of competition. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Started at $5.50 and basic showing when 4th last run at Del Mar but challenged by less formidable competitors. Should muster plenty of early toe. Place hope.

Gave nothing else a chance when winning by almost 9L last run at Gulfstream Park and racing over a longer distance. Up against a more competitive field. Looking at others.
