Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
DR AGNE (3) resumes after a break of six-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his debut win over 1408m at Saratoga to kick off last prep. Looks set to run well. SHARONS PHAROAH (4) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 1811m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is worth including. CHAMBERSVILLE (7) was in contention on the turn and finished third last start over 1710m at Keeneland Turf (Turf), beaten 1.75 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DOCTRINE (10) finished 4 lengths from the winner in sixth last time out over 1710m at Keeneland Turf (Turf) on April 10. Should park just off the speed. Deserves respect on best figures. Something for the Multiples: DA PRINCE IS RIGHT (1)

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently 8th of 12 at Keeneland Turf on April 10 over 1710m, 5 len behind Touch Of Fire with 54.5kg at $31.10. The race before that won by a 0.3 len at Fairgrounds Turf March 6 over 1710m defeating Fast Connection carrying 55.5kg at $4.90. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.

Getting off the mark on debut; scored a big 4 len win at Tampa Bay Downs Turf April 18 over 1609m defeating The Magic Speed with 54kg at $9.40. Unlikely to be contesting the finish despite that strong debut.

Returns from a 36-day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 12 at Keeneland Turf on April 10 over 1710m, 4 len behind Touch Of Fire with 53.5kg at $8.77. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Gulfstream Park Turf on February 12 over 1509m, 1.0 len behind Immortalised carrying 55.5kg at $3.40. This is well within his grasp.
