Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Allowance
HILLBILLY DAYDREAM (2) Was much too speedy in front when winning by a margin of 7L last start at the track and solid career start. Has plenty of early speed. Has to be strongly considered. MERITED (4) Ran on strongly to win last start here and having second race start. Winning hope. JOIN (1) Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 2nd last start at Keeneland and drawn beautifully. Getting better in recent performances. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Honest enough to be an each way player. GHOSTWRITTEN (3) Was well beaten when 8th last start at Keeneland. Overlooking the last run but matched against tougher rivals. Running with confidence since resuming from a spell. Could give a show.

Was quite a handful for the competition when 2nd last start at Keeneland and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Can feature in this event.

Dictated the tempo to win by 7L last start around here and has a positive barrier. Has early speed and positions nicely. Putting a tidy record together so far. Definite claims.

At $5.50 struggled with the pace when 8th last start at Keeneland. Overlooking the last run but racing in stronger company. Showing great form since coming back from a break. Must be considered here.
