Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Special Weight
BON VOYAGE (7) gets Irad Ortiz, Jr. and looks a key player. VERY CLASSY (1) draws the rail, which should aid a tidy run. ICEBREAK (2) maps well from barrier 2. CAMPING SIETE (6) is second-up and rises 201m in trip, but jumps 4.8kg from a 49.2kg debut at Churchill Downs.

Drawn barrier 2 with 54kg, this 2YO colt partners Jose L. Ortiz for Timothy E. Hamm. By Twirling Candy out of Alexandra Am I (by Exaggerator), he brings a solid pedigree profile. The inside draw should allow a handy position in running and a straightforward trip.

Has raced four times without placing, most recently 6th of 8 at Churchill Downs on 25 May over 1106 in a Maiden Special Weight 85, beaten 13.3L after settling back behind Hey Tuff Guy. Stays at the trip from barrier 3 with 54kg; track record is 2 runs without a placing and the Meza/Carpio pairing is 2:0-0-0. Needs to lift on exposed figures, though the low draw may help him settle closer.
