Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Allowance
SKI BUM (1) Put a gap on the rest when winning by 5L last time at Colonial Downs and has the ideal alley. Undefeated last 2 runs but competing in a higher grade. In the mix. STOMP (3) Resuming. Ran on strongly to win last time at Ellis Park and putting a tidy record together so far. Will be trying to topple them late. Must respect in this event. REMI'S MOON (2) Chased well when 4th last run at Saratoga and strong performer at this trip. Can find a nice position from the draw. Stepping back up in distance. Has claims. GHOSTWRITTEN (6) Made no mistakes when winning by a margin of 4 1/4L last run at Del Mar and good career start. At least a place chance.

Was strong to the line when winning by 5L last time at Colonial Downs and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Taking on stronger competition. Good chance at a nice price.

Jumped at $5.50 and made some ground when 4th last run at Saratoga and proven performer at this trip. Going back up in distance. Gets a favourable draw. Price in this race is tempting to get involved.
