Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance
GENE AND JUDE (1) Managed to run into 3rd last time at Ellis Park and drawn well. Jareth Loveberry and Michael J Maker work well together. Will be positive in the run early. Should go close. WINTER HOLIDAY (2) Ran on strongly when 2nd beaten by 1L last start at Ellis Park and has a good draw. Expected to be flashing home. Good career start. Serious player. VAPORETTI (8) Reeled them in to win last time at Ellis Park and putting a tidy record together so far. Luan Machado and Brad H Cox enjoy a high success rate together. Winnable race. EASY WIND (6) First up and dashed home to win first up last preparation at Ellis Park. Won't be far away during the run. Competing at a higher grade. Needs some luck and is an each way suggestion.

Flashed home late into 2nd last start at Ellis Park and has a positive gate. Shows very good closing speed. Showing consistent performance in races. Matched against tougher rivals. Genuine claims.
