Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
SUPER SAIYAJIN (2) went forward last start over 1006m in stakes class at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 1.75 lengths. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. QUICK SILLA (10) is a two-year-old colt by Upstart out of Silla Manila stepping out on debut for the B H Cox stable. Looks a definite contender, particularly if the money comes. SKY WARRIOR (9) is facing the starter for the first time. By Tapit and hails from the Mark E Casse stable. Watch for a betting push. BARDSTOWN ROAD (4) never really threatened on debut, finishing midfield and beaten 9 lengths over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Deserves another chance.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 36-day let-up. Last start in a small field at this track in LR on April 29 over 1006m, 1.75 len behind Waggley carrying 53.5kg at $6.56. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at Keeneland on April 16 over 905m, nose behind Blessed Flyer with 54kg at $15.25. Expected to go well.
