Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Allowance

SOCIAL HOUR (6) has been kept fresh since finishing second last start over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Winning chance. GAMBLERS TAIL (5) last appeared when he finished tenth over 1609m at Kentucky (Turf) on September 4. Sure to make his presence felt. TIMING DIFFERENCE (4) lines up for the first time since January 3. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1308m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. FREE ADVICE (1) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1408m at this track, beaten 4 lengths, after a win at Keeneland at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
