Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
HAWKEYE STATE (4) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 11 lengths into second over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. MCCANN (2) faced the starter for the first time and was well supported but could only manage sixth last start at Keeneland Turf (Turf) over 1106m, beaten 8 lengths. Blinkers are added so with added fitness he looms as a big threat. CAMPOBASSO (11) is a three-year-old colt by Street Sense out of Italia stepping out on debut for the Bob Baffert stable. Keep an eye on betting moves. IMPRACTICAL (3) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fourth at his most recent appearance over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt). Expected to feature in the finish this time.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 2nd of 8 at Gulfstream Park All Weather on March 13 over 1006m, 1.0 len behind Sweetster carrying 55.5kg at $6.20. Second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Oaklawn Park on May 2 over 1207m, 11 len behind Doublecents with 55.5kg at $5.90. Impressive of late. Right in the mix again.

At debut, ran last of 12 at this track on May 2 over 1408m, 29 len behind Prize Pick carrying 53.5kg at $7.08. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
