Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
JOE JOE DUDE (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 905m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DUVAL (3) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third over 905m at this track (Dirt). Has ability and looks sure to measure up. JACK'S BACK (4) was safely held on debut over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) last start, finishing third and beaten 7 lengths. Likely improver who shapes as one to consider this line-up. RHINESTONE RUNNER (7) is facing the starter for the first time. By Bee Jersey and is out of the Eddie Kenneally stable. Worth watching for a betting push.
