Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
L RANKIN (6) Came on strongly to finish 3rd when beaten by just over 4L last run at Keeneland but up in grade. Change in trainer. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. CITY OF LIFE (1) Tailed off to finish 8th last run at Keeneland. Should bounce back and gets a favourable draw. Stepping up to a higher level. Must respect in this event. VALIANT HUMOR (3) Ran 2nd last run at the track but up against tougher opponents. First start for a new trainer. Expected to be flashing home. Gets a chance to win. MUIR WOODS (5) Lost ground in the run home when 7th last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Tyler Gaffalione and Christopher Davis rate highly together. Can give this a shake.

Started at $8.50 and struggled with the pace when 8th last run at Keeneland. Should bounce back and drawn beautifully. Matched against tougher rivals. Should go close.

Started at $36.00 and faded to finish 12th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis but can find a nice position from the draw. Should be going forward early. Prefer in something weaker.

Was competitive when 2nd last run at the track but challenged by more formidable competitors. First race for a new trainer. Has a great burst of speed late. Has a credible chance.

Odds of $7.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 7th last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Not out of this.
