Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance
CIRCLE TAP (10) was beaten just a neck last start when third in a small field over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Will be fitter for that run, should be in the finish again. SEND CASH (5) placed as favourite last time over 1308m at Ellis Park after he had won two races on end. This looks a winnable race. MUMDOGGIE (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Drawn to stalk the leaders. One of the main contenders. MAP TO THE STARS (2) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but was below par last time when out of the placings at Ellis Park (Dirt) over the same trip after he had travelled in a rearwards position. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals.
