Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

IL CAVALLINO (6) sat on the pace last start until tiring to finish sixth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1408m at this circuit. Has the blinkers removed. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. FAST JOKER (2) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent effort a third at this track (Dirt) over 1710m when he was beaten 3.5 lengths. Has the blinkers removed. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. STEFAN'S TITLE (3) got the prize two runs ago at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1408m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. ROMANTIC LEAD (5) was beaten 12 lengths into fourth in a 1710m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run in a small field at this track on May 17 over 1408m, 12 len behind Guardian with 53.5kg at $11.52. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by a nose at Horseshoe Indianapolis April 8 over 1207m defeating High As The Sky with 54.5kg at $6.70. Can turn things around.

Returns from a 33-day let-up. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at this track on April 28 over 1408m, 5 len behind Favoritism carrying 56kg at $6.24. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Keeneland on April 8 over 1408m, 1.75 len behind Mischief Mania carrying 56kg at $25.39. Capable of more – worth another chance.
