Churchill Downs Race 6 - Harrods Creek S. Stakes
TAGERMEEN (4) Charged home to win last start at Saratoga but testing ability against stronger contenders. Looks very sharp this preparation with 2 wins from 2 runs. Shows good early pace. Strong claims. DOUBLECENTS (6) Shot clear to win by a margin of 4L last run at Remington Park and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Racing against tougher rivals. Won't be far away. CREOLE CHROME (5) First up and ran away with a win by 4 3/4L first up last preparation at Fair Grounds. Facing formidable competition. Back to a shorter trip. This field suits. GILDED BANDIT (1) Average performance when 6th last time at Saratoga but has drawn the rails. Can go through the gears. Up against a more competitive field. Rough hope for punters.

Odds of $7.50 and unsatisfactory performance when 6th last time at Saratoga but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Will be trying to topple them late. Hard to recommend with any confidence.

Jumped at $12.00 and finished 4th last start at Saratoga but solid career start. Expecting to settle positively. Racing consistently this prep and drawn nicely. Can't have on what it has been showing.

Kept chasing when 3rd beaten by 4 1/2L last time at Ellis Park but facing stiffer opposition. Will be motoring home late. Hard to see it being competitive today.

Finished well when winning last start at Saratoga but taking on stronger opponents. Flying this campaign with 2 wins from 2 runs. Should be going forward early. Should put in a decent effort.

First up and blitzed its rivals when winning by 4 3/4L first up last preparation at Fair Grounds. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Value runner at good odds.

Bolted in when winning by 4L last run at Remington Park and promising career start. Francisco Arrieta and Brett Creighton have shared plenty of success together. Going well this preparation. Will be in the finish.
