Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HEREFORAGOODTIME (2) returns from a spell of six months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when seventh over 2213m in the G3 Jockey Club Oaks Invitational Stakes at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give a great sight. ONTARIO (9) improved sharply on her sixth two starts back at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) with success over 2414m at Keeneland Turf (Turf) three weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SOL D'ORO (6) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 2414m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Meeting a tougher field but on current form she is capable of testing her rivals. UNMERITED FAVOR (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1811m at Keeneland Turf, beaten 5 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
