Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

RISK IT (2) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1308m at Ellis Park. Has the talent to take this out. VASA (7) settled well back last start and never threatened when 8 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1609m at Del Mar (Dirt). Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. REDACTED (3) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.3 lengths over 1106m at Ellis Park (Turf) when he did his best work late. Has the ability to build on that encouraging effort last start. COUNTTHEBRAVE (1) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
