Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

HOODLUM (5) started at $2.78 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 9 lengths, at this track over 1609m. Good record at this journey with six wins and six minor placings from 17 starts and is sure to play a big role. SALTWATER COWBOY (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at this track, beaten 8 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. NATIONAL ECLIPSE (3) has switched yards since finishing fourth seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1609m at this track. Worth plenty of thought. NIP N TUCK (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.
