Churchill Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance
SCHWARZENEGGER (7) was safely held when resuming from a spell behind Reb Five at Listed level at Keeneland Turf (Turf) over 1106m, beaten 7 lengths into seventh. Should be prominent from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. MILITARY CRUISER (12) resumed last time out and finished third over 1106m at Keeneland Turf, beaten 2.25 lengths. Should be in this for a long way. ROSE RULER (10) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1106m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Winning rider Danny Sheehy stays aboard and he cannot be underestimated. TATERPIE (9) was a winner over 1106m at Keeneland Turf (Turf) last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by 0.8 lengths. In form and will be running on hard again.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at Keeneland on April 12 over 1207m, 10 len behind Senior Officer carrying 56kg at $13.08. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Gulfstream Park on February 22 over 1207m, 8 len behind Mish with 55kg at $12.50. Nice alley and worth including.
