Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
GOLDEN AFTERNOON (1) returns after a spell of six months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1308m at Kentucky. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. AMOUDI BAY (4) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1106m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. RUN CURTIS RUN (3) is back at the races for the first time since December 21. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1106m at Keeneland Turf. One to consider. AUTODRIVE (2) finished third last start over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) when he worked home well, beaten 6 lengths. Should be peaking. In the right race and is sure to be prominent.
