Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
JUST AN OPINION (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. COPPER EM (5) has been in the market at her last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest fifth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Rates highly in this line up. Gets her chance. CAROLINA CANDY (4) ran well below her best last time over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf), beaten 9 lengths into eighth at $5.10. Record at this journey is impressive with two wins and three placings from six runs and has winning claims on best figures. FUN TO RUN (2) won at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to bounce back.
