Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming

CREOLE CHROME (2) boxed on to finish second last start over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten one length. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CIRCLE TAP (4) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a third at Ellis Park (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 4 lengths as favourite last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Cristian Mauricio Torres scored on him last time and retains the ride. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SOLDIER N DIPLOMAT (1) lines up for the first time since March 26. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1710m at Oaklawn Park. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. SPUN D M C (3) finished fifth over 1609m at Listed level at Ellis Park (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on August 9. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
