Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
YOU AIN'T POPPN (2) started at $4.17 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Has the ability to put the recent run behind him. COASTAL BREEZE (1) has switched yards since finishing eighth four weeks ago over 1207m at Oaklawn Park. Will be tuned-up for this and is expected to run well. MI DINERO (6) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1207m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt), beaten 12 lengths. Backmarker who keeps coming. One to consider. LIVEHAPPY (7) was below his best form last time when 9 lengths back in sixth over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Luan Machado has a solid record aboard this five-year-old gelding so a top-three finish is on the radar.
