Churchill Downs Race 6

Starter Allowance

Prize Money: $126,911

UNCLE WILLIAM (1) turned things around last start and landed the prize by a nose after being in contention on the bend over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. NORWICH (3) ran well below his best last time over 1609m at Saratoga (Dirt), beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth at $5.40. Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be in the finish. REMI'S MOON (2) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start when he did his best work late but found a couple better over 1408m at Colonial Downs, beaten 7 lengths. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. CURLIN'S GESTURE (7) finished second over 1609m at this track (Turf) at his most recent appearance on June 25. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Robertino Diodoro. Among the better hopes. Something for the Multiples: MORAL (4) RAVENS DREAM (5)
