Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Allowance

ALTA AVENUE (2) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1308m at Kentucky, beaten only 0.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Tackling a more suitable race so she is a major player. TWIRLING CLAIRE (6) has been kept fresh since running below par last time, finishing seventh over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Should park just off the speed. Will play a major role. BALACLAVA (5) proved too strong two runs ago at Ellis Park. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1609m at Ellis Park, beaten 13 lengths. Has the class to return to the winner's list. HEADS IN BEDS (3) is having her first run since winning by a nose five weeks ago over 1106m at Saratoga Turf. Has transferred to the Chris A Hartman stable over the break. Worth plenty of thought. Something for the Multiples: SHAMELESS BRIDE (1)
