Churchill Downs Race 12 - Race 12 - Maiden Claiming
MIZZOU (7) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Could only manage to finish sixth last time out over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt) following a minor placing at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) over 1408m the run prior. Finds a nice race and this might be his day. BARKER (9) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1308m at Keeneland after being prominent at the corner. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. PRIME POWER (6) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. CASTLE RUN (10) was in the money at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) when resuming two runs back then could only manage fifth at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) over 1106m two months ago. Will drift back but wind up late. Can sneak into the finish.
