Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance
TROUBLE CALLING (1) First up after a break. Assumed control from the start when winning by 2L last start at Ellis Park and has minimal work to do from the gate. Appears well in this. FOURTH AND CENTRAL (4) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last start at Gulfstream Park but matched against a stronger field. Won last 3 on the trot. Must be considered. BEACH HEIST (5) Dashed home to win last run at this venue and will be well suited at the distance. Has early speed and positions nicely. Challenged by a tougher grade. Underrated. SCHWARZENEGGER (6) Faded to finish 6th last start at Keeneland but strong performer at this distance. Has plenty of early speed. Stable is in form but stepping up to a higher level. Genuine winning chance.

First run back from a spell. Led throughout when winning by 2L last start at Ellis Park and will appreciate a good barrier. Luis Saez is a bonus. Good tough competitor that can be supported.

Odds of $6.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last start at Keeneland but ideal trip as proven previously. Should come to hand quickly. Racing in stronger company. Solid chance.

Ran a solid race on the speed before weakening to finish 2nd beaten by 1/2L last time at Keeneland but competing in a higher grade. Good value.

Jumped at $43.00 and below par performance when 8th last start at Keeneland and testing ability against stronger contenders. Should race on the speed. Dropping back to a shorter trip. Can't have.
