Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Claiming
VELVETEEN (11) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Going up a level this time but she good enough to play a major role. DODECAHEDRON (9) is still a maiden after 12 starts. Managed to find the placings at Turfway Park (Synthetic) two starts back before finishing sixth over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt) last start. Cannot be left out of calculations. BLASPHEMOUS RUMORS (2) is a nicely bred three-year-old filly lining up for the first time. By Unified from Tanda who has produced her share of winners. Should enjoy a nice run from this draw and any market lead would add to the confidence. COCOA NIMBUS (7) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fourth after being prominent at the bend at her most recent outing over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her.
