Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
FLASHY AVIATOR (4) Was competitive when 3rd last run at Colonial Downs and stepping up in trip. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Will be in the finish. BULLET BABY (2) Fresh from a break. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Ellis Park and can find a nice position from the draw. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Has genuine claims in this race. BETTY WHO (3) Got going late when 4th last time at Belterra Park and rising in trip. Expecting to settle positively. Can be competitive. MOTOWN SOUND (6) First up after a break. Made some ground late when 3rd beaten by 5L last run at Ellis Park. Expected to be flashing home. No shock to see a win.

Odds of $4.33 and weakened under pressure when 5th last start at Presque Isle Downs but having second career run. Likely to be well placed early. Prefer to watch.

Odds of $20.00 and showed some merit late when 4th last time at Belterra Park and going over more ground. Should jump out and bowl along. Quietly confident of a big run at decent odds.

Looked good when 3rd last run at Colonial Downs and facing a rise in trip. Jockey Luis Saez and trainer Rohan G Crichton are an appealing combination. Winning chance.

Resuming after a break. Nice run when placing 3rd beaten by 5L last run at Ellis Park. Finishes off strongly. Very capable of taking this out.
