Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
WINDSOCK (5) has started twice, missing the frame on debut then doing a better job to finish third last time, beaten 2.25 lengths over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Looks well placed to open his account. MAMBO MAN (4) finished 5.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1408m at Keeneland three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to stop. ASHER DASHER (6) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished seventh at his last appearance over 1609m at this track (Dirt) on September 23 after he was well back on straightening. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. CONCRETE OVERLAY (8) was beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. Nicely placed to find some form.
