Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
BERMUDA (1) was well in commission on his debut over 1308m at this track (Dirt) eight weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 7 lengths. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. APRIL FOOLS (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when 11th over 1609m at Keeneland Turf five weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. J'ACCUSE (5) turned in a much better run at his second appearance last time out when half a length from the winner in second over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Progressive type who is nearing a win. SCULPTOR (7) is dropping back in class after finishing third last start over 1207m at Listed level at Fairmount Park (Dirt). Well placed to figure prominently again. Something for the Multiples: APEXION (3)

Jumped at big odds at debut, ran second last of 9 at this track on September 24 over 1207m, 9 len behind Fusta with 54kg at $30.50. Requires plenty of improvement after a modest debut.
