Churchill Downs Race 8 - River City S. Stakes (G3)

LAMBETH (4) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by one length over 2414m in the G2 Sycamore Stakes at Keeneland Turf (Turf). That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from six runs. Can measure up again. OLE CRAZY BONE (8) lines up for the first time since September 5. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1710m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. PLENSA (7) was a gutsy winner two back then finished seventh over 1609m in the G1 Coolmore Turf Mile Stakes at Keeneland Turf (Turf) on October 3. Among the leading players. MERCANTE (2) turned in another moderate effort last start when 7 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1609m at Keeneland Turf. No surprise to see him in the mix.
