Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
MUIR WOODS (7) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best figures should see him run well. RULEROFTHEUNIVERSE (3) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1408m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) when second, beaten 5 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. ROWDY RIOT (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Should be peaking now and looks the main danger. FLYIN PRIVATE (4) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), beaten 2.25 lengths. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. Something for the Multiples: BIRD THE LEGEND (9)
