Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Claiming
SOMETHING NAVY (2) 3yo first starter by Midshipman for trainer Brad H Cox and can find a nice position from the draw. Gains the services of Tyler Gaffalione. Watch the market. FIERCE QTPI (7) First race appearance 3yo by Cloud Computing for trainer D Whitworth Beckman. Follow the money. WEDELIA (1) Back from break. Couldn't stay in touch when 10th last run at Kentucky Downs but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Can be competitive. RHAPSODY IN BLUE (8) Produced an eye catching run when 2nd beaten by 2 3/4L last time at Keeneland and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Cesar Orantes provides some weight relief. Good each way value for punters.

Resumes from a break. At $3.75 folded up in the straight when 10th last run at Kentucky Downs but has the ideal barrier. Back in trip. Not at all out of this race.

Brad H Cox trained 3yo by Midshipman having first race start and will try to take advantage of the alley. Tyler Gaffalione is a key engagement. Watch early betting.

At $8.50 struggled with the pace when 5th last run at the track. Should be going forward early. Watch betting.

Started $9.00 and ran 6th last time at this track but was on debut last time. Francisco Arrieta and Philip D'Amato are a formidable team. This looks a tough assignment.
