Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Claiming
NEXT TIME (10) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 9 lengths into eighth over 1408m at Keeneland. Will enjoy a drop in class so he can make amends. RICHEZTOO (5) is a genuine type with three minor placings from four starts this campaign. Produced another good effort last time out when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after he was handy all the way. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. CARSON (1) has not raced since his debut back on November 12 when he finished ninth over 1006m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Should be thereabouts. CARCAR EXPRESS (6) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), finishing 16 lengths from the winner in tenth. Should be in the finish. Can feature with the right run.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, second last in a small field at Turfway Park on March 20 over 1308m, 9 len behind Vino Subito carrying 54.5kg at $10.63. Second-up didn't do much in the run home; 8th of 12 at Keeneland on April 12 over 1710m, 20 len behind Flash Of Chaos carrying 53.5kg at $70.93. Has failed to show enough.

Most recently eased back early on 6th of 8 at this track on April 26 over 1207m, 16 len behind Impavido with 56.5kg at $58.01. The start before that 10th of 12 at Turfway Park on March 19 over 1207m, 18 len behind Imperial Ruler carrying 56.5kg at $9.39. Comes into this in ordinary form. Can't enthuse.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd of 8 at this track on April 26 over 1207m, 7 len behind Impavido with 56.5kg at $46.77. Before that 4th in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis on April 8 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Stefan's Title with 56kg at $5.90. Nice draw and worth thought.

Recent form sound. Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at this track on April 26 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind Impavido with 53.5kg at $7.53. The start before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at Tampa Bay Downs on March 28 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Willing One carrying 54kg at $2.80. Making headway. Likely to measure up again.

Second-up. First-up after two months 8th of 10 at Keeneland on April 11 over 1408m, 9 len behind Dispersion carrying 53.5kg at $3.60. Previously second-up 7th of 9 at Fairgrounds Turf on February 5 over 1710m, 8 len behind Black Hornet with 54.5kg at $12. Likely improver.

Last start settled back and ran on when 6th of 9 at Keeneland on April 22 over 1207m, 14 len behind Editor carrying 53.5kg at $20.76. The start before that second last in a small field at Gulfstream Park on March 29 over 1207m, 19 len behind Wyatt's World with 55.5kg at $10.90. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Comes here off a 52-day let-up. Most recently ran last of 12 at Turfway Park on March 19 over 1207m, 21 len behind Imperial Ruler carrying 56.5kg at $8.03. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at Turfway Park on January 16 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Consolidated carrying 55kg at $69.57. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
