Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Allowance
KERNESS K (4) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1408m at Laurel (Dirt) last start to make it 11 straight. Martin Chuan aboard again and should be in the finish. CONCRETE GLORY (10) could only manage eighth when returning from a spell last start over 1308m at Parx (Dirt), beaten 19 lengths. Form here strong boasting two wins from three starts. Sure to be there at the business end. SWIRVIN (1) showed good early speed over 1308m at Keeneland (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by 0.1 lengths. Will be hard to run down again. DELTA TAU CHI (7) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis. That followed a win at Horseshoe Indianapolis the start prior. In contention this time.

At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at Fairmount Park on October 24 over 1207m, 1.0 len behind He Gone carrying 57kg at $5. Before that won by 0.8 len at Fairmount Park on October 3 over 1207m defeating Xavi with 56kg at $2.80. Might just find this a bit too tough.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis on October 22 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind Tiz Authority with 56kg at $2.70. The run before that scored a big 5 len win at Horseshoe Indianapolis on October 1 over 1207m defeating Pistole with 55.5kg at $2.20. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
