Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
STORMS HOME (3) changes rider since being well held last time in seventh over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on May 26. Expected to bounce back. WANTS N NEEDS (7) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he should be in the finish again. HAILSTORM (2) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. RIDGEWOOD RUNNER (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Aqueduct, beaten 30 lengths into seventh. Capable of featuring prominently.

Resuming after a break of nine weeks. Finished off last campaign second in a small field at Keeneland April 20 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Mr Skylight with 54kg at $4.40.

Having third race start. At debut, 2nd of 8 at Oaklawn Park on March 30 over 1207m, nose behind Gould's Gold carrying 55.5kg at $9.40. Second-up favourite; ran on from midfield and scored a big 4 len win at Oaklawn Park April 26 over 1207m defeating Zatara carrying 55.5kg at $1.60. Should be right in the finish.
