Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
TOODALOO (10) Racing as a debutant 2yo by Hard Spun for trainer Albert M Stall Jr. Watch betting. YUPAHA PRINCESS (2) Kenneth G Mcpeek trained 2yo by Corniche on debut and gets a favourable draw. Betting is the best guide. QUEENS AMBITION (5) Grabbed towards the finish when 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last time at Keeneland and was a debutant last start. Will be positive in the run early. Definite claims. MAUI MEOW (11) In the money when 2nd last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis and was a debutant last start. Should be rolling forward early from the wide barrier. Key player.

At $10.00 faded away to finish 7th last start at Keeneland but can save some energy from the draw. Expecting to settle positively. Respect the betting.

Odds of $16.00 and gave away some ground when 10th last run at Keeneland and back to a shorter trip. Might have to make up considerable ground. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

Started $23.00 and was well beaten when 9th last run around here and down in trip. Expected to settle towards the rear. Watch for a sign in the market.

Set a strong tempo before fading to place 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last time at Keeneland and fitter for debut run. Must respect.

Jumped at $28.00 and didn't threaten when 8th last run at Keeneland. Better to look elsewhere.

Was $5.00 and weakened to finish 9th last run at Keeneland. First start for a new trainer. Unlikely to go close.

Ran well when 2nd last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis and having second career run. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Forward showing expected.

Started $43.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 10th last run at Keeneland. Likely to get back in the field. Very unlikely to shake these.
