Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
RICHEZTOO (1) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should be prominent again from the low draw. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. COMES A TIME (2) raced below his best last time when sixth over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 10 lengths. Has the ability to figure prominently. VINO DOMINUS (8) is having his first run since winning by 3 lengths three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1609m at this track. Has transferred to the Joe Sharp stable over the break. Worth plenty of thought. FAST JOKER (4) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on June 6 over 1207m, 4 len behind Where Y'at carrying 54.5kg at $2.24. The run before that won by 2.75 len at this track May 10 over 1408m defeating Carson with 53.5kg at $2.53. Draws the fence and is a top chance.

Comes here off a 39-day let-up. Last start scored a big 4 len win at this track May 17 over 1811m defeating Al Amjaad with 53.5kg at $3.61. Before that 7th of 12 at Keeneland on April 19 over 1408m, 17 len behind Non Conforming carrying 54.5kg at $61.26. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
