Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
JACKIE'S PLAYER (12) finished third, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf) after she was in contention on the corner. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. TAPIT NITRO (6) is yet to break through after four career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track (Dirt) two starts back before finishing seventh over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt) last time. Should be in the mix. MEASUREMENT (4) was unplaced on turf over 1308m at Kentucky two back then again couldn't find the top-three on the same surface last time out, finishing sixth over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf. Well placed and can make amends. Something for the Multiples: J Z'S NOT AGAIN (14)
