Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
FREE CHOICE (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 9 lengths when seventh in a 1308m contest at Keeneland a month ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. DR FENN (4) is yet to break through after four career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track (Dirt) two starts back when resuming before finishing 11th over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt) last time. Cannot be left out of calculations. VINO SUBITO (1) was never in contention on debut last time out over 1308m at Keeneland (Dirt), finishing ninth and beaten 13 lengths. Better for the experience and can turn things around. TWO SEVEN O (2) debuted six-and-a-half weeks ago when he finished seventh over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 10 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under his belt.
