Churchill Downs Race 9 - Isaac Murphy Marathon S. Presented By Resolute Racing Stakes
NO BIEN NI MAL (1) won off a similar break when fresh last August in his US debut and then scored the Greenwood Cup in good order over this trip at Parx as the odds-on pop. Ready to fire here fresh and she can hold a spot from the inside alley. Can bring up the hat-trick. DIGITAL OPS (4) was building toward a win and landed the knockout blow when winning by 2.3L in an Allowance at Colonial Downs recently. He was no match for NO BIEN NI MAL before the break last campaign but comes into this under different circumstances. Sure to make his presence felt. PARCHMENT PARTY (2) went back-to-back before tackling the Melbourne Cup where he never featured. Back to wining ways on his return to the US as favourite and he'll be better for that run. Can build into the race and he'll be hard to fend off if he's at his best. INTERCEPTOR (5) can find another gear getting out in distance once again. WYNSTOCK (8) too good last start and creates interest stepping out in distance.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Aqueduct in LR on April 4 over 2012m, 1.75 len behind Yo Daddy with 54.5kg at $6.14. The start before that scored a big 3.5 len win at Aqueduct March 7 over 2012m defeating Valentinian carrying 56kg at $2.53. Hard to knock on his recent form and he can make his presence felt again.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up eased back early on second last in a small field at Aqueduct on March 5 over 1609m, 11 len behind Bourbon Day with 56kg at $2.74.
