Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
HIGGINS BOAT (6) returns from a break of nine weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fifth over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. EXACT ESTIMATE (5) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 1.75 lengths away in third over 1609m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. FROSTY INDULGENCE (10) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0.1 lengths over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt). That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Can feature again. OTAGO (7) didn't threaten when resuming last start over 1609m at this track (Turf), finishing seventh, beaten 6 lengths. Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Can improve sharply here. Something for the Multiples: MORUNNING (9)
