Churchill Downs Race 10 - Wise Dan S. Stakes
LAGYNOS (2) showed the way from barrier rise to score by 0.8 lengths last start over this course and distance. Takes on tougher opposition this time but he is likely to feature. DRESDEN ROW (6) was successful last start over 1710m at this track (Turf), getting home by 0.8 lengths to make it three wins on the trot. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. FORT WASHINGTON (7) was too good when resuming in an easier race over 1811m in the G3 Dinner Party Stakes at Laurel Turf (Turf) last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and is among the leading chances. BRILLIANT BERTI (8) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1710m in the G3 Arlington Stakes at this track (Turf). Form here at this trip reads three wins from five starts. Not to be discounted.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Not raced for 43 days. Resuming held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Keeneland Turf on April 18 over 1106m, 2.5 len behind Works For Me carrying 53.5kg at $7.58. Second-up favourite; won by 1.0 len at this track May 15 over 1609m defeating Baby Max carrying 55.5kg at $4.45. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 58-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 8 at this track in LR on April 30 over 1609m, 0.1 len behind Lagynos carrying 54.5kg at $6.69. The run before that 4th of 7 at Fairgrounds Turf in the G2 Mervin H. Muniz Jr. Memorial Handicap on March 21 over 1811m, 4 len behind Lagynos with 53.5kg at $13.10. Worth plenty of thought.
