Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

GARDINER (1) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 1.75 lengths away in third over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Finds the right race this time and can get the chocolates. SLIDER (5) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by half a length over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement and looks a big threat to the top selection. CURLIN'S GESTURE (2) has failed to figure of late. Two starts back could only manage ninth over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf. Most recently he failed to complete the course at this track. In the mix if he gets things right. UPTURNED BRIM (3) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
