Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance

ON PAR (3) was in control from the outset to score on debut over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) seven weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. EVA READY (4) is back from a spell of 11 months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1207m contest at Aqueduct Inner Turf by 3 lengths. Leading contender. ZAP D'ETAT (7) finished third at Ellis Park Turf two runs back but was less effective last time over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf), finishing 11 lengths back in tenth. Has the ability to return to form. CINISTER CIX (2) resumed last time out and finished seventh over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf, beaten 4 lengths. Best figures have him right in the mix.

Comes off a 58 day let-up. Last start 3rd of 7 at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on July 30 over 1006m, 1.0 len behind Boltage with 55.5kg at $9.40. The run before that 4th of 7 at Presque Isle Downs on June 29 over 1207m, 3 len behind Vinsanity with 56kg at $3. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.
