Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
SOLID LEFT (7) finished 9 lengths from the winner in ninth on turf at Keeneland two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at this track over 1710m when 9 lengths adrift in sixth. Best form stacks up nicely. Big chance to atone. PAVED IN GOLD (3) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 1.75 lengths last time out over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FLICKER (2) returned from a break and was on dirt for the first time last start when 2.75 lengths back in second over 1710m at this track. Will be better for the recent experience and has strong claims. WHISKEY OR WINE (5) is going well with four minor placings from seven starts this time in work. Turned in another good effort last time out when third over 1710m at Hawthorne (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
