Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Allowance
EXPLOSIVELY (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Faces an easier assignment so he is set to turn things around. STRING THEORY (1) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Should be prominent from the outset. Will give a great sight. PLAY THE TRUMPET (7) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.8 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role. SPRINT OUT PASS (6) has switched yards since finishing fourth three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1710m at this track.
