Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Claiming
BOTH SIDES OF BAD (8) was never in contention last time over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) when he finished fifth, beaten 5 lengths. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. PAIRED (2) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track (Dirt) two starts back before finishing fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time. Likely to play a major role. WHATEVER (4) was in contention on the corner and finished third last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. FITZGERALD (9) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, 5th of 10 at Keeneland on April 10 over 1308m, 15 len behind Free Advice with 53.5kg at $47.52. Second-up 7th of 11 at this track on April 28 over 1308m, 12 len behind Harbe with 53.5kg at $21.71. Can't make much of a case.
