Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
COMPREHENSIVE (5) has been in the placings five times from six starts in this maiden campaign, the latest as favourite over 1811m at this track (Turf) when 1.75 lengths from the winner. Expected to go close. LAHAINALUNA (3) is yet to break through after four career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Keeneland Turf (Turf) two starts back before finishing fourth over 1710m at this track (Turf) last start. Cannot be left out of calculations. ROYAL GUARD (1) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1609m at this track (Turf), beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. WAR AND MAJESTY (10) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign to finish 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1710m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.
