Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

ENCINO (3) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 5 lengths, over 1710m in Listed grade at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic). Likely improver with strong prospects. YINZER (6) finished third two runs back at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1811m at this track (Turf). Likely to be in the finish again. JOHNY'S RENDEZVOUS (5) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 3 length win at Keeneland (Dirt) over 1710m. Bold showing expected again. ECHO LANE (2) finished 12 lengths behind the winner in ninth place when resuming over 2414m last start in the G2 Sycamore Stakes at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Likely improver.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently 7th of 9 at Listed level at Belmont Park Turf at Belmont Park Turf on October 2 over 1609m, 8 len behind Souper Forces with 57kg at $11.09. Before that won by a 0.1 len in Listed grade at Monmouth Park Turf at Monmouth Park Turf on August 8 over 1710m defeating Running Bee with 53.5kg at $4.80. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.

Racing well recently. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; scored a big 3 len win at Keeneland on October 18 over 1710m defeating Judge Davis with 55.5kg at $2.27. The start before that 4th of 7 at this track on September 24 over 1811m, 2 len behind Yinzer with 55.5kg at $6.02. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.
