Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming

FIVE A SIDE (9) finished second last time out over 1710m at Turfway Park, beaten 4 lengths. Sure to prove tough to beat. SUDDEN SWITCH (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1408m at Keeneland, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. DECADENT (2) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) when she was handy all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CHOPSTICKS (3) resumes after a break of seven months. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1207m at this track. Solid top-three hope.
