Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
SHEZA GO GETTER (2) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish tenth at her latest appearance over 1308m at Keeneland (Dirt). Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. PRANK AT DAWN (7) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time, beaten 9 lengths over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Going well and is right in the mix again. ABSOLUTE LEA W (1) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1207m at Keeneland, an improvement on her 11th at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways.
