Churchill Downs Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Claiming
EXODUS (6) turned in a solid run on debut last start, beaten 7 lengths into third at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) over 1207m. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so a big run is anticipated. CARDINAL UNION (5) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth after being prominent at the corner at his latest appearance over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt). This offers him a great chance of breaking through. PROPS (11) made progress last time out, finishing 9 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1207m at Keeneland. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. JACK CHARLES (4) didn't do a lot on debut a month ago, finishing 12 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt). Plenty of scope for improvement. Must be respected.

Was well in the market at debut, 3rd in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis on May 6 over 1207m, 7 len behind Lighter carrying 55.5kg at $4.40. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.
