Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CAMEO PERFORMANCE (1) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when 1.3 lengths away in second over 1710m at Keeneland (Turf). Big chance to break through. OUT OF DEDUCTIONS (4) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third in stakes class at Hawthorne (Turf) over 1609m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Sound record at this distance with two wins and three minor placings from seven runs and is sure to go well. PRINCETOWN (12) turned in a much better effort last start when beaten only a nose into second at Kentucky (Turf) over 1408m. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be competitive. SARDIS (10) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 1710m at Keeneland, beaten 5 lengths, after a win at Kentucky at the previous outing. Nicely placed to figure in the finish. Something for the Multiples: GROVELAND (5) JUST A FAIR SHAKE (8)
