| COMMENTS: GOODNIGHT OLIVE is a winning machine and most of the time the outcome was not close. MATAREYA finished in the money two of two at Churchill and three of three at the distance. WICKED HALO has a pair of wins and thirds at the distance which includes her career best speed number. HOT AND SULTRY showed more early pace in her last run but has been a cut below the top three. | ||||

| * EXACTA: 2,3,5,7 Box | ||||
| * TRIFECTA: 2,3,5,7 Box | ||||
| COMMENTS: SPENDARELLA looks like the class of this race. The lone concern is that this is the longest stretch between races. FLUFFY SOCKS jockey and trainer duo of Irad Ortiz and Chad Brown win at a strong 44 percent together. HAUGHTY is less than a length away from winning five of her six starts and could get a trip to her liking here. SPEAK OF THE DEVIL might have the most potential in the group but might prefer for the track to something other than firm. | ||||

| * TRIFECTA: 2,3,6/2,3,6/2,3,6,8,11,12 | ||||
| COMMENTS: BABY YODA is a versatile horse that has shown he can keep up with early speed of come from off the pace to win. ZOZOS is usually well backed by horseplayers and should make a lot of noise down the stretch. MASQUEPARADE will be extremely dangerous if he gets off to a good start and competes early. KUPUNA is making his third start after a layoff with a bullet workout in his last before this start. | ||||

| COMMENTS: ARREST ME RED has three wins and two thirds in five at the distance and should be sharp today. NOTHING BETTER looks to be in top form with bullets galore on the training track and a wire to wire win in his last. MOTORIOUS finished no worse than third in his six races since coming from England. BIG INVASION handled almost all of the horses he has faced to date but steps up here. | ||||

| * TRIFECTA: 1,12/1,2,5,7/1,5,7,9,12,14 | ||||
| COMMENTS: KANGAROO COURT ran better fractions at 6 and half furlongs in his last than he did at 6 furlongs in the prior start. GUN PILOT missed as the favorite in his last. Trainer Steve Asmussen rebounds at 24 percent the next time out. ECHO AGAIN could make easy work of this field if he can turn back to his debut. FORT BRAGG might be the most consistent performer in the race and might be poised to improve today. | ||||

| * EXACTA: 1,2,5,11 Box | ||||
| * TRIFECTA: 1,2,11/1,2,11/1,2,5,11,12 | ||||
| COMMENTS: CARL SPACKLER and MAJOR DUDE both ran speed figures above 100 in their last races. They are the only two that have reached triple digits in this race. CARL SPACKLER is the more lightly raced horse which means he could have more upside. FAR BRIDGE is also lightly raced with just two races and might have more than he has shown to date. JOHANNES steps up the class level here but his performances on grass and pedigree numbers fit with the top contenders at a much better price. | ||||

| * EXACTA: 7/1,2,10 | ||||
| * TRIFECTA: 7/1,2,10/1,2,4,10,11 | ||||
| COMMENTS: CODYS WISH is undefeated in four at Churchill Downs. CZ ROCKET appears to be a horse for the course with four wins in nine starts including his career best effort. ENDORSED ran better fractions in his last race. Jockey Tyler Gaffalione stays here instead of riding the next pick WHITE ABARRIO who made easy work of the field in his first try at todays distance. | ||||

| * EXACTA: 4,5,8,9 Box | ||||
| * TRIFECTA: 3,4,5,7,8,9/8,9/3,4,7,8,9 | ||||
| COMMENTS: This might be the most competitive race on the card. SPOOKY CHANNEL won 13 of 28 races on turf. SANTIN stumbled badly at the start of his last race and could be overlooked by horseplayers due to the poor finish. UP TO THE MARK appears to be getting more fit as he has increased his late pace in the last three outings. STEADY ON showed more early enthusiasm in his last race which can be an indication of good outing in the next start. | ||||

| COMMENTS: FORTE is the has not done anything wrong horse and will likely put in another good race in the third off the bench. PRACTICAL MOVE got off to a sluggish start and still won the Santa Anita Derby. His works say he get off to a better start here. HIT SHOW has increased his speed figure in four straight. KINGSBARN is unbeaten in three starts and none have been close. | ||||
