Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
FOCUSYN (7) First up after a break. Charged home to win last time at Gulfstream Park and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Irad Ortiz Jr rates highly. No shock to see a win. PERFECT PRANKSTER (9) Couldn't maintain the pace when 5th last start at Turfway Park. Overlooking the last run but rising in weight. Can take this out. FARLEY HALL (3) Weakened under pressure when 9th last time at Keeneland. Will be positive in the run early. Exotics hope in this event. MIGHTY MO (4) Showed some merit late when 4th last start at Mahoning Valley. Likely to be well placed early. Could work into the placings.
