Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
SHAN (1) has been kept fresh since he resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by 1.75 lengths over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Won at his only second-up appearance and he looks hard to stop again. MISTER BANDERAS (3) was an effortless winner last time over 1408m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 4 lengths. Likely to feature. INVULNERABLE (7) finished sixth, beaten 9 lengths, last time out over this course and distance after coming from an outside draw. The addition of blinkers should see a bold run. FURIOUS ANGER (6) was safely held when resuming last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 19 lengths. Worth noting his second up record is strong. Solid contender in this line up.

Second run back. First-up after four months ran last in a small field at this track on May 23 over 1308m, 19 len behind Five O' Somewhere with 53.5kg at $32.96. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at this track June 12 over 1308m defeating Gardiner with 56kg at $16.12. Improver with definite claims.
