Churchill Downs Race 10 - Race 10 - Mdn Claiming
WICKED GUN (9) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish ninth at his latest appearance over 1408m at Ellis Park (Dirt). This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. ONE MORE TIME (7) is a five-start maiden who returned last time and finished eighth at Ellis Park (Dirt) over 1811m, beaten 12 lengths. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. ROGUISHNESS (3) is back after a break of eight months. At the last run before the layoff he finished seventh over 1710m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Has ability and is a leading player. POSITIVE EQUITY (4) ran a better race last start at his second trip to the races, finishing second over 1710m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Progressive type with strong claims.
