Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

STEP FORWARD (7) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1106m at this track (Turf). Will go forward again and looks tough to beat. EXPLORATION (5) is a talented type yet to taste defeat after two runs this campaign, the latest over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Kept fresh for this assignment and expected to measure up again. OTTO THE CONQUEROR (3) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 0.9 lengths. Placed to advantage and can take this out.

Second run back. Comes off a 53-day let-up. First-up after four months set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 8 at this track on April 26 over 1106m, 0.8 len behind Golden Afternoon carrying 55.5kg at $13.63. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 at Saratoga Turf on July 5 over 1106m, 0.1 len behind Twisted Filigree carrying 55.5kg at $13. Fitter again and a winning hope.

Second run from a spell faded in the straight 7th of 10 at Aqueduct Turf on May 15 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Bite And Strike carrying 57kg at $7. Genuine contender under these conditions.
