Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Claiming
UP COUNTRY (8) was in the money two starts back at Turfway Park but couldn't back it up last time when seventh, beaten 10 lengths, at Keeneland (Dirt) over 1710m. Finds a nice race and can get the job done. DEVILISH ACT (12) sat on the pace last time and recorded the second minor placing from as many runs this prep, finishing a nose back in second over 1609m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Fitter and should be in the finish again. DISPARATE IMPACT (2) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 8 lengths from the winner in fifth at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1308m. Comes into calculations. DISCOTHEQUE (6) is near a win after three minor placings in a row, the latest a close second over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be about the money again.

Comes here off a 46-day let-up. At the latest run second last of 8 at Keeneland on April 19 over 1710m, 10 len behind Saugeen carrying 57kg at $2.24. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Turfway Park on March 18 over 1710m, 2.25 len behind Dienekes with 57kg at $2.60. Capable of more – worth another chance.
