Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

ARMY OFFICER (1) was popular when resuming last start over 1811m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) but finished tenth, beaten 7 lengths. Second up record is sound. Likely improver. BOURBON'S FAULT (7) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when seventh over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Certainly worth another chance. GREAT ESCAPE (2) was safely held when resuming last start over 1609m in Listed grade at Evangeline Downs (Dirt), finishing eighth and beaten 22 lengths. Commendable record at this trip with a win and six minor placings and is capable of going well. TWIRLING TROILLET (5) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on December 26, finishing 12th and beaten 45 lengths over 1609m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Worth plenty of thought.

Second run back. First-up after two months second last of 11 at Churchill Downs Turf on May 10 over 1811m, 7 len behind Write Off Jerry carrying 53.5kg at $4.19. Previously second-up 10th of 12 at Gulfstream Park Turf on February 28 over 1710m, 9 len behind Cruise The Nile with 56kg at $42.60. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track on April 29 over 1609m, 8 len behind Empire Builder carrying 53.5kg at $21.47. The race before that 5th of 7 at Keeneland on April 11 over 1811m, 14 len behind Eye Dee Kay carrying 53.5kg at $8.14. Might just find this lot a bit smart.
