Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
HOUSE UNITED (6) turned in a modest performance when eighth last time out over 1408m at Keeneland, beaten 13 lengths. That followed a win at Aqueduct at the previous outing. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. CURLIN'S MALIBU (1) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 7 lengths back in third over 1811m at Keeneland (Dirt). This is a suitable assignment and can find winning form. CLASSIC CAR WASH (8) lines up on the back of a 6 length fourth over 1710m at Oaklawn Park. Has a win and three placings at this journey from six starts. Credentials hard to fault. INEXORABLE (5) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1308m at Keeneland (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement and is among the better chances.

Last start 2nd in a small field at Keeneland on April 19 over 1811m, 1.5 len behind Carolo Rapido with 54.5kg at $1.85. The start before that came from midfield and won by 2.75 len at Laurel March 8 over 1811m defeating Joe The Jet with 56kg at $2.40. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.
