Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Allowance
GEWURZTRAMINER (6) is a 10-time winner who has been at the top of his game of late, beaten 3 lengths into third last time out over 1710m at this track. Rates highly and is expected to run well. MILITARY ROAD (9) is in top form this campaign, including a 0.1 lengths win over 1811m at Aqueduct (Dirt) last time and making it two in a row. Should be in the finish again. MY NOBLE KNIGHT (4) wasn't far away last time out, finishing sixth over 1408m at this track (Dirt) after he got a long way back in the run. Boasts four wins at this distance. Right in the mix. FOUNTAIN RUN (5) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 6 lengths back in fourth over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Cannot be underestimated.

At the latest run ran second last in a small field at Hawthorne on May 31 over 1673m, 6 len behind Coach Jimi D carrying 56.5kg at $2.30. Before that ran on from midfield and scored a big 5.5 len win at Fairmount Park May 19 over 1673m defeating American Cause carrying 57kg at $2.10. Needs to improve.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up ran last of 7 at Thistledown on May 5 over 1609m, 11 len behind Sweet As Sin with 56kg at $11.80. Second run from a spell won by 1.3 len at Thistledown May 26 over 1609m defeating St Louie Louie with 56kg at $10.80. Might need easier race.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track on May 14 over 1811m, 6 len behind Master Controller carrying 56kg at $11.60. The race before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Keeneland on April 11 over 1811m, 6 len behind Eye Dee Kay with 54.5kg at $4.31. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Comes off a 54 day let-up. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Oaklawn Park on April 25 over 1710m, 2.25 len behind Camp Daddy carrying 56kg at $1.50. The run before that 2nd of 7 at Oaklawn Park on April 2 over 1811m, 1.5 len behind Bright Spark carrying 57kg at $8.60. Hard to envisage a win today.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes off a 47 day let-up. At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.1 len at Aqueduct May 2 over 1811m defeating Indy Rags carrying 56kg at $2.97. The start before that won by 17 len at Aqueduct March 29 over 1811m defeating First Trumpet carrying 57kg at $1.74. Ideally placed to play a significant role.
