Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight

CROMWELL (4) resumes from a 12 weeks spell and looked close to a win before the break, starting favourite and finishing second at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Taking on a longer trip to kick off this prep. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. TOP DRAWER (6) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1811m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. DON'S WINNER (8) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1710m at Kentucky (Turf). Finds the right race and is worth consideration. EL TIO (1) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1609m at Ellis Park, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
