Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

EXPLOSIVELY (5) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 8 lengths over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. MO HOPE (7) started at $4.87 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1710m after being in the firing line on the bend. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HEY BUDDY (6) finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1408m at Keeneland three weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be competitive. NOBLE GENTLEMAN (4) won at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing sixth over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
