Churchill Downs Race 10 - Race 10 - Allowance Optional Claiming
INVICTUS (8) met with solid support last start over 1710m in stakes class at Pimlico (Dirt) when third, beaten 11 lengths. Nice class drop this time. Expected to be in the finish. CAMP HALE (11) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 2.25 lengths. Brian Joseph Hernandez Jr was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Serious contender again with the confidence high. LIL MUGGS (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.25 lengths when fourth over 1207m at this track seven-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DAVID OF ATHENS (3) is back from a spell of eight months. Won on debut at the only appearance last prep, taking out a 1207m contest at Keeneland by 0.8 lengths. Must be respected.
