Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Claiming
GENTLEMAN JIM (8) is a six-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing second at Keeneland (Dirt) over 1408m last time out after being prominent at the bend. Has the class to figure prominently. SHARONS ANGELS (3) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished ninth at his last appearance over 1710m at Keeneland Turf (Turf) on April 11 after he got a long way back in the run. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. STONE COUNTY (2) is a three-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent outing over 1609m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) after he gave away a big start. Expected to feature in the finish this time. SCUFFLE (5) improved last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third over 1609m at Oaklawn Park. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.

Racing well recently. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Keeneland on April 23 over 1408m, 1.75 len behind Kokomo Joe with 54.5kg at $3.61. The start before that in a small field at Turfway Park on March 14 over 1609m, 4 len behind Garryowen carrying 54.5kg at $4.62. Making headway. Likely to measure up again.
