Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Claiming
DOROTEO (3) raced below his best last time when ninth over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten 47 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is likely to play a big role. CAPTAIN MERCURY (4) ran below expectations last time at Keeneland (Dirt) over 1408m, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Likely to feature. JUSTIFREAK (2) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing eighth and beaten 14 lengths starting at $2.34. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. STORM THE STREETS (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Can feature in the finish.
