Churchill Downs Race 10 - Race 10 - Allowance Optional Claiming
OSCAR'S HOPE (7) produced a reasonable effort when second last start after being in contention on the corner over 1207m at Keeneland, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at Saratoga the start prior. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CABOURG (6) impressed when successful on debut over 1207m at this track (Dirt) seven weeks ago. Promising type who can measure up again. ZEUS'S ECHO (3) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 6 lengths behind Schwarzenegger over 1106m in stakes class at Keeneland (Turf). Big chance in this class. NINE BALL (4) ran seventh at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, finishing 13 lengths from the winner. Serious contender.
