Churchill Downs Race 8 - American Derby Stakes

ALPYLAND (6) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 1609m in the G3 Penn Mile Stakes at Penn National Turf (Turf). Same winning combination here and expected to go very well. BUST OUT (8) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a second at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) two starts back then got the job done by 1.75 lengths as favourite last time out over 1609m in Listed grade at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is capable of another big performance. IMMORTALISED (1) had been in great form winning three on end before finishing second last time out over 1609m at Penn National Turf. Can return to his winning form. THOUSANDSTICKS (4) did a little better last start at the second run of the campaign, finishing fourth over 1811m at Listed level at this track (Turf). Well placed in this easier race. Sure to be thereabouts.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Penn National Turf in the G3 Penn Mile Stakes on May 29 over 1609m, 4 len behind Alpyland carrying 52.5kg at $6. Before that won by a nose at Gulfstream Park Turf LR March 28 over 1509m defeating Ababajoni carrying 55.5kg at $2.50. Ideally placed to play a significant role.
