Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
GYPSY ART (4) was well supported when resuming last start but could only manage to finish fifth over 1106m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Placed at his only other second up appearance. Should camp just off the leaders. Leading contender. INK LIES (3) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1106m at Keeneland Turf (Turf) after being in contention on the corner. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. ZAP D'ETAT (5) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third when he made late ground at the end of 1106m at Keeneland Turf. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. DISMISS (1) showed good early speed when resuming last start before fading to finish fourth over 1106m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Can sneak into the finish.

Before that crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 2nd of 11 at Turfway Park on March 21 over 1207m, 2 len behind Volendam with 54.5kg at $10.12. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
