Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
SHADOW COAST (3) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) over 1408m on February 15. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be in the finish. ARMY WILDCATTER (7) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and did score first-up when last in work at Delta Downs (Dirt) over 1006m. Lines up for the first time for the John Ennis stable. Rates highly so expect him to be prominent. WHERE Y'AT (10) scored a 1.75 lengths win on dirt at Fairgrounds two starts back but then disappointed on turf last time at Fairgrounds Turf over 1710m when 10 lengths from the winner in ninth. Sure to be thereabouts and can find best form again here. GUARDIAN (2) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1408m at Keeneland. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. Something for the Multiples: MR. SENSEI (5)

Back from a spell. Only had one start last preparation 3rd in a small field at Gulfstream Park on February 15 over 1408m, 7 len behind Gallo De Fuego with 56kg at $2.60. When resuming last campaign didn't finish the race at this track November 16 2024 over 1207m. Anticipating a bright start to this prep.

Returns from a 51-day let-up. Last start raced on the pace before fading to run last of 9 at Fairgrounds Turf on March 5 over 1710m, 10 len behind Western Run carrying 55.5kg at $18.70. The start before that won by 1.75 len at Fairgrounds February 1 over 1207m defeating Sully carrying 56.5kg at $7.70. Worth another chance.
