Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
ATARAH (12) Assumed control from the start when winning by a margin of 1/2L last time at Keeneland and putting a tidy record together so far. Stable is in form. Will give a big sight. TETIAROA (2) Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 6L last start at this track and was a debutant last start. Likely to be well placed early. Gets a favourable stall. Has to be strongly considered. HEAVENLY SUNSET (7) Set the pace when winning by 4 1/2L last run at Keeneland. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Flavien Prat is a key booking. Looks to be value. ESPECIALLY (4) Picked up late ground when 3rd last start at Keeneland and promising career start. Running with confidence since returning from a spell. Worth a ticket.
