Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
JUST A FAIR SHAKE (4) last appeared when he finished 12th over 1710m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) on March 20. Expect him to play a major role. STORM THE STREETS (1) last appeared when he finished seventh over 1509m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) on January 1. Runs very well here having never missed the frame from three starts. Has found a suitable race. IZZY D'ORO (5) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Faces an easier assignment so he is sure to be prominent. ARTHUR'S COURT (2) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Fairgrounds (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 4 lengths last time out over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
