Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Allowance
IMPAVIDO (7) broke through for his maiden win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he should be in the finish. TRIPP'S PROMISE (9) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1308m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. JOIN (8) impressed last time with a 6 length win at this track (Dirt) over this journey. Capable of testing this field. ROCHESTER (2) progressed nicely last time out to score by 6 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.

Comes off a 47 day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by 2.75 len at this track April 26 over 1207m defeating Richeztoo with 53.5kg at $2.06. The run before that didn't do much in the run home; 5th of 8 at Fairgrounds on March 6 over 1207m, 6 len behind Outlaw Empire with 55.5kg at $6.70. Can go on with it.
