Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
MAP TO THE STARS (8) settled well back at this course and distance last time but did find the line nicely to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Winning chance who will be winding up strongly. RISK IT (7) changes rider since being well held last time in eighth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on October 30. Forgive that latest effort. In the mix. EVAN ON EARTH (2) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 5 lengths away in third over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt). Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. SINISTER SMILE (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Keeneland, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. Capable of featuring prominently.
