Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Allowance
BOB'S CARROT (5) was prominent from the outset when third over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt) last time out. Should be prominent from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. REMI'S MOON (2) was unplaced on turf over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf two back then again couldn't find the top-three on the same surface last time out, finishing fourth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf. Has a formidable record at this journey with two wins and two placings from five starts and is sure to go well. TROUBLE TIME (4) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fourth over 1207m at Ellis Park a month ago. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. MO WORK (7) boxed on fairly last time and wasn't beaten far over 1207m at Colonial Downs (Dirt), finishing second. Extra journey a plus now and should be highly competitive.

Resuming. Only had one start last preparation won by 0.8 len at Ellis Park on July 4 over 1207m defeating Silver Sniper with 56kg at $2.83. First up last campaign eased back early on 8th of 10 at Ellis Park on August 17 2025 over 1207m, 15 len behind Semper Primus carrying 54kg at $4.73. Doesn't appeal.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 31-day let-up. Last start sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at Ellis Park on August 16 over 1207m, 4 len behind Show Time carrying 55.5kg at $6.64. The run before that won by 1.0 len at Ellis Park on July 11 over 1207m defeating Trouble Ahead carrying 55.5kg at $1.72. Best form should see him measure right up.
