Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Allowance

LAUGHNOWCRYLATER (3) First up after a break. Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd last time at the track and competing in an easier class. Won't be far away during the run. Big chance. SUITED AND BOOTED (4) First up after a break of 48 weeks. Finished 6th last time at Keeneland. Expecting improvement here and up against a less competitive field. First race for a new trainer. Respect. SUSAN'S BOY (5) Fresh after a break. Did well to place 2nd last start at Ellis Park but up against a more competitive field. Keep in mind. CULPRIT (1) Couldn't stay in touch when 4th last start at Ellis Park. Can make a comeback and drawn the rails. Should be going forward early. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Could surprise.

Odds of $5.00 and tailed off to finish 4th last start at Ellis Park. Can make a comeback and will appreciate a good gate. Competing in a higher grade. Needs a mighty effort to win this.

Thrashed the field when winning by nearly 7L last run at Ellis Park and will be well suited at the distance. First appearance for a new trainer and drawn nicely. This looks a tough assignment.

Resumes from a spell. Even though fading late still placed 3rd last time at this venue and back in an easier grade. Should jump out and bowl along. Will run close.

Led throughout to win by 1 1/2L last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Up against a higher level of opposition. Considerable improvement needed.
