Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance
STRUCK AT MIDNIGHT (1) Close up last time here and drawn the rails. Competing in a higher grade. Getting better in recent performances. Has the ability to figure. ONEHOTMESS (3) Was dominant when winning by a margin of 6L last time at Woodbine and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Very competitive this campaign. Irad Ortiz Jr is a plus. Will be there at the finish. PASEO (4) Good effort to run 3rd last run at Keeneland but challenged by more formidable competitors. Been in the money 5 from 5 attempts this campaign. Solid place bet prospects. MARCINKOWSKI (2) Was getting tired late when 5th last run at Keeneland and gets a favourable draw. Likely to be well placed early. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Include in chances.

Was agonizingly close last time here and drawn well. Showing improvement in recent outings. Up against tougher rivals. Definite claims.

Jumped at $9.50 and was found wanting late when 5th last run at Keeneland and can find a nice position from the draw. Should race on the speed. Has a credible chance.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last start here and rising in trip. Has very good finishing speed. Challenged by a tougher grade. Most likely not today.
