Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Starter Allowance
HAUNTED FLAME (3) started at $4.82 last time on the back of a win at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best, finishing fifth over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. FIRST OF HIS NAME (4) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in the firing line on the turn before winding up in second over 1811m at Keeneland, beaten one length. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. REDEMPTION TIME (2) doesn't win out of turn but was in the finish last time when beaten 0.1 lengths into second over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and is expected to run well. MO HOPE (6) finished 7 lengths back in sixth over 1710m at this track (Dirt) last time out after a gutsy win when resuming from a spell two runs back. Should be poised just off the lead. Don't underestimate.
