Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance

MADAKET ROAD (5) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when fourth over 1408m in the G1 Malibu Stakes at Santa Anita (Dirt). Watch for a bright return with Lasix for the first time. EDITOR (1) was a most impressive winner last time over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt), scoring by 6 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. GHOST TALES (6) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) after showing good early speed. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. TOM CAT TUESDAY (3) finished sixth over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on March 1. Can make his presence felt.

Second run from a spell sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Turfway Park on March 27 over 1609m, 3 len behind Seal Bay carrying 54.5kg at $3.41. Promising galloper. Should go well.
