Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
MIZZOU (6) has switched yards since finishing ninth six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1207m at this track. Nicely placed here and expected to go well. HIGHWAY PATROL (8) was in contention on the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1207m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SCUFFLE (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was prominent throughout over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can find winning form. TIMS (5) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1609m at this track. Finds a nice race and can play a big role again.
