Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
DONTWORRYBOUTNOTHN (5) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at Ellis Park, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Has the ability to produce another positive result. NONNO (1) made a promising debut over 1408m at Ellis Park (Dirt) last start, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Nicely drawn on the fence so he will be hard to beat. QUENTIN B (10) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of seven months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1207m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Strong winning chance on best figures. NATIVE BREW (4) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fourth over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Cannot be dismissed.

Four-year-old gelding by Uncle Mo out of Valadorna who has taken a long time to make it to the track. This looks a tricky race for him.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 41 day let-up. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Ellis Park on August 15 over 1207m, 5 len behind Campobasso with 56kg at $9.96. The run before that 4th of 10 at Ellis Park on July 25 over 1408m, 5.5 len behind Pimlott carrying 56kg at $3.40. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
