Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

EAST VILLAGE (9) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 0.1 lengths from the winner in second over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. FINAL THOUGHTS (6) got the job done in grand style last start, scoring by 1.75 lengths over this journey at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) after stalking the lead. Sure to measure up again. T V CHANNEL (5) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Less impressive last time out when sixth over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf, beaten 6 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so he will prove hard to beat. FAST JOKER (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1609m at Ellis Park. Likely improver with strong prospects. Something for the Multiples: FITZGERALD (1)

Returns from a 34-day let-up. Last start 4th of 7 at Ellis Park on August 17 over 1609m, 5 len behind Midnight Vengeance carrying 54.5kg at $2.30. The race before that won by 10 len at Ellis Park on July 25 over 1609m defeating Greystar carrying 53.5kg at $4.73. Happy enough to avoid.

The start before that ran last of 8 at Ellis Park Turf on July 24 over 1710m, 12 len behind Go For Rocket carrying 54.5kg at $77.20. This race looks too tough.

Comes here off a 44-day let-up. Last start ran second last in a small field at Ellis Park on August 7 over 1609m, 18 len behind Spurgeon carrying 53.5kg at $8.46. The race before that 3rd of 8 at this track on June 25 over 1609m, on a wet track; 7 len behind Richeztoo carrying 53.5kg at $8.47. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Raced two times to date. At debut, ran second last of 8 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on July 7 over 1609m, 18 len behind Mount Vernon carrying 54.5kg at $9.80. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.75 len at Horseshoe Indianapolis on August 18 over 1710m defeating Star Saver with 54.5kg at $3.20. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.

Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Ellis Park on August 17 over 1609m, 4 len behind Midnight Vengeance carrying 56kg at $7.94. The race before that 4th in a small field at Ellis Park on July 24 over 1408m, 10 len behind Just Asap carrying 55.5kg at $8.16. Sure to be about the money.
