Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
QUINN'S PROMISE (1) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Gulfstream Park but raced below expectations last time over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths. Has the ability to produce a better result. BELLE OFTHE DANCE (6) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Enjoys a drop in grade so she is a major player. DON'T BE SALTY (3) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark four runs back, the latest effort a third over 1811m at Keeneland (Dirt). One of the contenders with the blinkers added. STATE CHARMER (7) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1308m contest at this track last time out by 4.5 lengths. One of the better chances.
