Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Claiming
DESERT DUSK (5) Eddie Kenneally trained 3yo runner on debut by Cupid. Watch early betting. DIAMOND EYED JACK (6) Ran 4th last run around here. Must respect in this event. HAPPY PRINCE (15) Didn't threaten when 10th last start at the track. Racing for a new trainer. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Genuine winning chance. INTEREST ONLY (16) Initial appearance 3yo by Munnings for Riley Mott. Jockey Axel Concepcion rates highly aboard. Betting is the best guide.

Set a strong tempo before fading to place 3rd beaten by just short of 7L last time at this venue and has minimal work to do from the draw. Good chance and definitely has claims.
