Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming
OUR STARRY NIGHT (3) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1106m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ROSE RULER (2) scored by 1.5 lengths last start at this track (Turf) over 1006m after he was prominent at the corner. Is yet to miss the frame from three starts at this distance, including two wins. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. MURDOCK (1) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. EAKLY (7) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1106m at this track (Turf), beaten 1.5 lengths. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Ready to go a couple better.

At the latest run eased back early on 5th of 7 at this track on May 28 over 1106m, 4 len behind We're In Trouble carrying 56kg at $2.50. The race before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 len at Keeneland Turf April 17 over 1106m defeating Innate carrying 56kg at $1.91. Draws the fence and is a top chance.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 5th of 8 at Keeneland Turf on April 3 over 1106m, 2.25 len behind Amoudi Bay with 53.5kg at $5.01. Last start gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 7 at this track on May 28 over 1106m, 0.3 len behind We're In Trouble with 55kg at $7.80. Fitter now and making headway. Will take beating.
