Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Allowance

WISTUCKY (1) scored at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) last time out with 3 lengths to spare over today's journey. Has started three times at this journey and has never missed the frame. Can go on with it. BAYTOWN BRUISER (2) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at Turfway Park (Synthetic) with success over 1609m at Laurel (Dirt) seven weeks ago, getting home by 7 lengths. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. EXPLORATION (3) resumes for a new yard after finishing in the money over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) at the last appearance on February 15. Generally runs well when fresh, recording two minor placings from four runs. One of the primary contenders. BRIDGE CLASSIC (4) is progressing well this preparation, getting the job done by one length last time out over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.

Resumes after a break of ten weeks and has been in the money when fresh before.

First up last campaign second last of 7 at Aqueduct December 10 over 1408m, 7 len behind Golden Symphony with 55.5kg at $8.42. Could prove too smart for these.
