Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MAE TOWN (2) found one better when resuming last start at this track (Turf) over this distance after she was in the firing line on the corner. Has a very good record over today's journey with three wins from six starts. Florent Geroux who has three wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. BUTTERCREAM BABE (5) settled well back last start and never threatened when 10 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1609m in the G1 Just A Game Handicap at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Finds the right race this time and can take this out. SATIN BLUE (7) turned in a fine effort to score by one length at today's track and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BIG TROUBLE (4) made it four minor placings in a row last start when third over 1106m at this track (Turf). Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways.
