Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

LAZLO (10) Fresh after a break. Rocketed home when winning last time at Santa Anita and promising career start. Serious player. MCILROY (1) Ran on hard when winning last start at Turfway Park and can save some energy from the alley. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Must respect. TOMASELLO (5) Went to the front and never looked back when winning by 3L last start at Keeneland and putting a tidy record together. Going well this campaign. Can take this out. EMERGENCE (8) First up and put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of 3 1/4L first up last preparation at Gulfstream Park. Could be a value selection.
