Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

O P FIRECRACKER (5) finished a 43 length seventh on dirt at this track two back. Switched to turf last time at this track over 1811m and again missed the frame, finishing a 4 length eighth. Reunites with Cristian Mauricio Torres who has been in the money four times when aboard. Likely to feature. INEXORABLE (6) started at $5.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1710m. Erik Asmussen gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ELUSIVE TARGET (4) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1811m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. PHANTOM RIDE (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1710m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so he should be in contention again.

Useful type. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track on May 30 over 1710m, 0.3 len behind Man In The Can carrying 54.5kg at $4.34. The race before that second last of 11 at Oaklawn Park on May 5 over 1710m, 6 len behind Auto Glide with 56kg at $9.50. Promising effort last time out. Solid prospect.
