Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
GOLDEN SIPS (8) Came on strongly when 2nd beaten by 1L last time at Mountaineer Park and putting a tidy record together so far. Stepping up in trip. Strong chance. BOSS LADY KAR (11) Close to a win last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Possesses very good closing speed. Winning hope. CALLIE'S DANCE (9) Looked outclassed when 11th last start here. Looking past the last run and going over more ground. First appearance for a new trainer. Must respect. HIGHER CALLING (3) 2yo by Higher Power having first race appearance for trainer Michael E Lauer. Betting as a guide.

Was ordinary when 7th last start at Keeneland but drawn beautifully. Has a great burst of speed late. Watch the betting.

Started at $28.00 and fairly underwhelming when 10th last time at Keeneland but was on debut last time. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Drawn nicely. Remote chance at best.

Was $16.00 and faded away to finish 10th last start at the track but racing over a longer distance. Looks highly doubtful.

Started $28.00 and didn't find the line when 6th last time at Keeneland. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Struggling this preparation. Needs to find a lot more.

At $9.00 weakened under pressure when 10th last time at the track. Have to respect the recent stable form. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition.

Jumped at $14.00 and lost ground in the run home when 9th last time at the track. Shows good early pace. Large claim helps. Betting is the best guide.

Attacked the line when 2nd beaten by 1L last time at Mountaineer Park and showing consistent performance in races. Should come to hand quickly. Stepping up in distance. Gets a chance against these.

Jumped at $3.75 and didn't attack the line when 11th last start at this track. Looking past the last run and rising in distance. Racing for a new trainer. Expecting a solid performance.

Just missed last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Should get going late. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.
