Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

GUARDIAN (8) was well fancied last time but found a couple better at this track (Dirt), finishing 1.75 lengths adrift at the end of 1207m. Will appreciate the extra ground. Worth another chance. LUCIUS VERUS (5) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when fourth, beaten 13 lengths, over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt). Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. AFTER PARTY (6) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths. Ready to go one better. STEFAN'S TITLE (3) is a last-start winner five-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by a nose over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Winning claims on best figures.
