Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
PROBLEM SOLVED (2) Narrowly beaten last run at Ellis Park and will try to take advantage of the draw. Change in trainer. Has to be strongly considered. FEDERAL AGENT (3) First up after a 34 week break. Tailed off to finish 8th last time at Fair Grounds and back in trip. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Has scope so do not ignore. BERNIEDOTT (6) Performed below standard when 6th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Good to see jockey Yedsit Hazlewood is jumping on. Winnable race. FOUR DIMES (7) Passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last time at Ellis Park and having second career run. First race for a new trainer. Possesses the talent and has some chance.

Odds of $8.50 and didn't threaten when 8th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis but gets a favourable draw. Has plenty of early speed. Prefer others.

Resuming after a spell of 34 weeks. Jumped at $16.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last time at Fair Grounds and will be dropping in distance. Keep safe for your exotics.

First up after a break of 47 weeks. Couldn't stay in touch when 6th last start here and will be down in distance. Coming to a new trainer. Worth a serious look.
