Churchill Downs Race 10 - Race 10 - Allowance Optional Claiming

MAUI STRONG (3) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1609m at this track (Turf) at his latest appearance. Form here at this journey is very good. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. Expected to be in the finish. SUSHI MAN (7) last appeared a month ago over 1710m at Keeneland Turf when he finished third. This is his first run for the Ben Colebrook stable. Should be thereabouts. FIRST RESORT (8) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1811m at Keeneland (Dirt) after being prominent at the turn. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. EARLY ADOPTER (1) has been freshened up since he finished fifth over 2012m at Belmont Park Inner Turf (Turf) eight weeks ago. Backmarker who keeps coming. Not to be discounted.
