Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Allowance
BAYTOWN BRUISER (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1710m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. GUARDIAN (4) led throughout last start to score an effortless 10 lengths win over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Expected to take some stopping again. TRULY LEGIT (5) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 3 lengths, over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Will give a bold sight again. ADMIRAL HALL (3) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 1408m here last time. Outdashed but got home well and the longer journey looks ideal. Can get home into the finish here.
