Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
WARRIOR RICHARD (4) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1710m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Should park just off the speed. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. REAL MACHO (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1609m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BIG CITY (2) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when sixth over 1509m at this track (Dirt). Has further improvement to come and shapes as a leading player. J P RACE (1) improved last start when second up from a break, finishing 2.25 lengths adrift in fourth over 1207m at Prairie Meadows (Dirt). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Deserves respect on best figures.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation by 2.75 len this track November 23 over 1710m defeating Raising Kane with 55kg at $5.74. Previously first up; second last of 7 at this track October 30 over 1609m, 4 len behind Secret Chat carrying 55.5kg at $9.63. Certainly one to consider.
