Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
CONCRETE OVERLAY (8) Basic showing when 4th last time at the track. Is capable of a resurgence. Looks a winning hope. WINDSOCK (5) First run back from a break. Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis and facing an increased distance. Likely to be well placed early. Should be in the finish. MAMBO MAN (4) Was making up some late ground when 4th last time at Keeneland. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. FARAZ (1) Below standard effort when 9th last time at this track but drawn the rails. Wider exotics hope.

Started $36.00 and disappointing display when 9th last time at the track but has drawn to do little work. Better to look elsewhere.

Resuming after a spell. Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis and facing a rise in trip. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Gets a solid chance here.

Odds of $36.00 and lacklustre showing when 7th last run at this track. Might have to make up considerable ground. Cannot have in this race.

Started at $23.00 and was well beaten when 8th last run around here. Coming to a new trainer. The wide alley shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Needs a lot of luck in this race.
