Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE (5) finished second two runs back at Turfway Park (Synthetic) then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish. MISTER MMMMM (6) was in the money two starts back at Fairgrounds Turf but couldn't back it up last time when seventh, beaten 24 lengths, at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) over 1106m. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. REAL MACHO (4) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 0.1 lengths as public elect last time out over 1609m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is capable of testing his rivals. BARKSDALE (1) was always well back last start at the first run of this campaign and never threatened, finishing tenth over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Capable of featuring.
