Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Allowance
NOGRADI (5) is in sparkling form, scoring at his last three starts, the latest win coming over 1673m at Parx (Dirt). Rates highly and hard to knock the winning form. CANT STOP MUNNINGS (6) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Saffie A Joseph (Jnr) yard. Scored at his latest appearance at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) 12 weeks ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks nicely placed. Bold showing expected. C MCGRIFF (1) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), scoring by 0.8 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. BOURBON FLIGHT (2) comes here following a win over 1609m at Turfway Park six-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Solid top-three hope.
