Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Claiming
GENTLEMAN JIM (8) brings the best recent figure after a 2nd at Keeneland over 1408m, beaten 1.8L, and his prior Turfway runs read well for this drop. SCUFFLE (5) was 3rd at Oaklawn over 1609m in Maiden Claiming, on pace and only 5.3L off, and now adds blinkers. TIMS (9) maps handy after leading and finishing 2nd at Oaklawn over 1609m, beaten 6.5L, and should be suited back to this trip. SHARONS ANGELS (3) has 1400m form with a Santa Anita 3rd two back and can improve returning in distance.

Comes off a 44-day let-up after a solid 2nd at Oaklawn Park over 1609m on 26 Mar, beaten 6.5L by Global Heat Wave at $4.33 after racing on speed with 53.5kg. Prior runs at 1207m were mixed, including a Remington Park 2nd in Dec beaten 1L at $2.50. Now draws barrier 9 with blinkers and switches to Emmanuel Esquivel for Carlos Santamaria. Each-way claims if he holds that mile form.
