Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming

STAY FOR THE BOOM (4) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at Del Mar at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. GUARDIAN (3) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 4 lengths away in second over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Expected to be in this for a long way. WHITE WHALE (2) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 1.75 lengths last time out over 1408m at this track (Dirt). In the mix. TROUBLE AHEAD (6) was beaten 13 lengths into seventh in a 1408m contest at Keeneland last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around. Something for the Multiples: MALEVAJE (1)

Most recently came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Belterra Park on October 9 over 1207m defeating Golden Survivor with 56kg at $1.80. The start before that ran second last of 8 at this track on September 20 over 1710m, 23 len behind East Village with 55.5kg at $10.63. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.
