Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
LLAMP (1) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was prominent at the bend before being beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 1106m at Keeneland Turf. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. HOT GAMER (11) turned in a solid run on debut last start, beaten 0.8 lengths into second at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1207m. Has a wide gate to overcome but she should pay to follow. NOROOMFORMISCHIEF (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1408m at Keeneland, beaten 45 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. LINDY CAN (9) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on October 13, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Now under the care of new trainer Dana Hancock. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
