Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming

CLASSIC TIME (7) changes rider since being well held last time in eighth over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) on May 1. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. NABOKOV (4) registered a strong win at Aqueduct two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when prominent at the corner before finishing second over 1207m at Aqueduct, beaten 2.5 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. MISTER BANDERAS (5) produced a reasonable effort when third last start after being in contention on the corner over 1308m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. CURAHEE (6) finished in the placings when a 1.3 lengths second on dirt at Keeneland two back but then disappointed on turf last time at Churchill Downs Turf over 1811m when 11th, finishing 11 lengths from the winner. Makes plenty of appeal back on the dirt.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Aqueduct on May 16 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Factually Correct with 56kg at $8.45. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 4.5 len win at Aqueduct May 8 over 1308m defeating Dot's Dollar carrying 56kg at $4.12. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.

Returns from a 42-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 11 at Churchill Downs Turf on May 10 over 1811m, 11 len behind Write Off Jerry with 53.5kg at $12.92. The run before that 2nd in a small field at Keeneland on April 10 over 1408m, 1.3 len behind Tagliatelle with 53.5kg at $1.94. Can do a lot better than that last run.
