Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
PRAYER (5) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 15 lengths when sixth in a 2012m contest at this track three weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. CONSEQUENTIAL (6) is a eight-start maiden who has been in the money two times, Could only manage fourth last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three two times. Likely to be in the finish. PAY HEED (2) raced once in the maiden preparation when seventh at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) over 1609m back on February 12. With the addition of blinkers is worth keeping safe. WHATEVER (3) is a maiden with three minor placings to his name. Could not improve on that record when resuming last start, winding up in sixth over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt). Placed at his only other second up appearance. Blinkers applied for the second-up run. Worth including.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Last start settled back and ran on when 9th of 12 at Keeneland on April 12 over 1710m, 21 len behind Flash Of Chaos with 53.5kg at $20.07. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Turfway Park on March 13 over 1710m, 8 len behind Aguila Negra with 54.5kg at $3.28. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
