Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

KALAHARI DREAMS (6) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2.75 lengths over 1308m at Saratoga (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Top chance again. BIG BOAT (4) is a talented colt who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1609m in Listed grade at Ellis Park (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Will give a great sight. ANCIENT WORLD (8) finished 7 lengths from the winner in sixth last time out in Group 3 class at Saratoga (Turf) over 1106m. Has never been out of the money in three starts at this trip, including two wins. Takes on much easier opposition this time. Should be involved in the finish. PERFECT FORCE (2) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 4.5 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves his chance.
