Churchill Downs Race 9 - Bango S. Stakes

CORNUCOPIAN (2) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.3 lengths over 1207m in the G3 ARISTIDES STAKES at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from four starts. Top chance again. DR VENKMAN (6) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1207m at Del Mar eight months ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. GOLD SWEEP (4) is racing well. Scored in stakes class at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) two back then finished third, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1207m in the G3 ARISTIDES STAKES at this track (Dirt) at the latest appearance four weeks ago. Should be poised just off the lead. Should be involved in the finish. BUILT (7) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it three wins from five starts this campaign. Tougher assignment this time but cannot be underestimated.
