Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
GENO'S MYTH (9) Couldn't maintain the pace when 7th last start at Keeneland on a heavy track. Looking for an improved run. Should get going late. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. DON CORLEONE (3) Tailed off to finish 6th last time at Keeneland. Capable of bouncing back. Displays good tactical speed. Has been a model of consistency since coming back from a spell. Should go close. LIVEHAPPY (4) Faded to finish 8th last run at Keeneland. Should improve. Will give a big sight. PIERCE ELEVATED (6) Back from a break. Faded away to finish 6th last run at Turfway Park. Happy to overlook that run but dropping in distance. Looks to be value.
