Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
WAR READY (9) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 905m at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Has a wide gate to overcome but a big run is anticipated. NEVER SLEEP (3) is a two-year-old colt by City Of Light out of Up At Dawn set to debut for the L Rivelli stable. Likely to get all the favours from this favourable draw. Looks a definite contender, particularly if the money comes. GREENWELL (6) is a two-year-old colt by Flightline out of Cambodia set to debut for the Mark E Casse stable. Should acquit himself well. Watch for a positive market lead. GRAND YAUPON (4) is facing the starter for the first time. By Yaupon and is out of the Steven Asmussen stable. Watch the market closely.
