Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
BOLD STRENGTH (5) finished second on debut four months ago, beaten 1.5 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt), and has not been produced since. Likely improver and expected to go well again. THE EXODUS TWIST (7) started at big odds on debut last start but ran a bold race, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Improver who looks a major player. PENALTY BOX (1) resumes from a spell of ten weeks after closing off last preparation with three consecutive minor placings. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be competitive. SIXTYSEVEN MUSTANG (6) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1710m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. Something for the Multiples: ORIGINAL SIN (2)
