Featured Track/Race:   Churchill Downs – Race 4 
   
Race overview:  A vert weak 20k N2L for 3&up going a mile on the main, with very few who have winning credentials.  
   
Pace:  There’s not much here, which really flatters #7 UNCLE BERLEY (3-1), who drew perfectly and is fast enough to lead or sit just off. 
   
Trends:  The main track played a bit more on the fair side last week, as winners were coming from everywhere, though tactical speed (at the very least) is always preferred.  
   
Best Play:  #7 UNCLE BERLEY (3-1): Versatile sort will be close throughout, if not on the lead, drops in class, and just doesn’t face much. 
   
Bet Types:    Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well.
