Churchill Downs Race 7

Maiden Claiming

Prize Money: $100,559

AUTHENTIC PATRIOT (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1609m at Santa Anita (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Settles close to the speed. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DISCOTHEQUE (5) boxed on to finish second last start over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten half a length. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. ROCK MUSIC (1) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1207m. One of the main contenders. SOHO JIMMY (9) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 6 lengths over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt). Will drift back but wind up late. Don't underestimate.

Was well-supported at debut, 4th of 7 at Fairgrounds on March 21 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Tamino with 56.5kg at $2.50. Can improve and should give a good account.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 5th of 9 at Keeneland on April 19 over 1408m, 14 len behind Final Story with 54.5kg at $25.22. Satisfactory effort on debut but might need a little more time.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Keeneland on April 4 over 1308m, 13 len behind Gilded Bandit carrying 53.5kg at $16.01. The race before that ran last in a small field at Sunland Park in LR on February 15 over 1710m, 88 len behind Pavlovian carrying 56kg at $9.60. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.

Second-up. First start ran last of 11 at Turfway Park on February 19 over 1207m, 35 len behind Stackin Sats carrying 54.5kg at $11.14.
