Churchill Downs Race 11 - Race 11 - Starter Allowance
INDY CHARGES ON (7) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 2 lengths last time out over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. PAPA YO (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 1710m at Belmont Park (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Leading player again. EXPECT THE BEST (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.75 lengths over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with four wins and seven minor placings from 12 starts. Can feature again. MARGIE'S FUN SON (2) was beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1609m at Parx three-and-a-half weeks ago. Capable of featuring prominently.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming 3rd in a small field at Colonial Downs on August 22 over 1408m, 4 len behind Zero Blitz carrying 55.5kg at $5.80. Second run from a spell won by 2 len at Keeneland on October 11 over 1710m defeating Pike Place carrying 55.5kg at $1.83. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1811m.
