Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
FREAKS GO (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PULSTAR (2) returned from a spell six weeks ago when she was in contention on the turn before being beaten 6 lengths into sixth over 1006m at Gulfstream Park All Weather. It doesn't get any easier but with added fitness she is capable of a big performance. HEAVEN'S BOLT (3) has not appeared since she finished fifth over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf on February 6. Serious contender. GLAZIN' FURY (4) flew the gates and led throughout to score by 1.3 lengths last start over today's journey at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Solid prospects again.

Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after three months second last of 7 at Gulfstream Park All Weather on April 3 over 1006m, 6 len behind Thank You Amy with 56kg at $4.
