Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
LORD MAJESTY (5) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being prominent at the bend. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. ILLINI (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.3 lengths over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with four wins and two minor placings from 11 runs. Sure to go well again. UPTURNED BRIM (4) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) before finishing third, beaten 6 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. BE HERE (3) produced another moderate effort last start when 10 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1609m at Turfway Park. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.

Racing well recently. At the latest run won by 1.3 len at Horseshoe Indianapolis April 8 over 1207m defeating Lord Majesty carrying 55.5kg at $2.80. The race before that eased back early on in a small field at Mahoning Valley on March 12 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind Me And Chili carrying 56kg at $2. No reason he cannot salute again.

At the latest run 3rd in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis on April 14 over 1207m, 6 len behind Willie Bird carrying 55.5kg at $16.40. The run before that second last of 8 at Fairgrounds Turf on February 26 over 1106m, 8 len behind Fit To Fly with 55kg at $11.60. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
