Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

BEING MYSELF (5) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months and did win first-up last time in work over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Looks set to run well. FORESEEN (2) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third when she worked home well at the end of 1811m at Keeneland. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. UNION MIST (4) went forward when resuming last start and proved too strong, getting home by 0.3 lengths over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason she cannot salute. SIERRA NOVEMBER (6) ran below expectations last time at Keeneland (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
