Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
TRIM CASTLE (5) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1006m at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths. Can get off the mark this time. CROSSFIRE (11) went forward over 1006m at this track (Dirt) last time and held on for third. Has the gate speed to negate a tricky draw. Blinkers added in a positive sign from the stable. BOURBON TOWN (9) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing fourth, beaten 9 lengths, last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Debut run was encouraging so he is worth another chance. SEE YOU SOON (3) is a first-starter by Mo Town from Sense When who has been an outstanding producer including winners at black type level. Promising type who cannot be left out of calculations.
