Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
CROSS POWER (3) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 13 lengths when sixth over 1106m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he will be hard to beat. BON VOYAGE (7) is a two-year-old colt on debut by Olympiad from Simplify who has been a prolific producer including winners at black type level. Looks set to make a positive start to his career despite an awkward draw. ICEBREAK (2) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Timothy Hamm. By Twirling Candy from Alexandra Am I. Bold showing expected. CLONMACNOISE (5) is appearing for the first time. By Highly Motivated and is out of the John Ennis stable. Worth watching for a betting push.
