Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
COMPREHENSIVE (5) Displayed a strong effort throughout the race when 3rd last start here and facing an increased distance. Should come to hand quickly. In strong racing shape this campaign. Respect in this event. ROYAL GUARD (1) Kept coming when 3rd last start at this track and racing over extra ground. More confidence with jockey Irad Ortiz Jr guiding the horse. Has very good finishing speed. Will be there at the finish. LAHAINALUNA (3) Got tired late when 4th last run here and facing a rise in trip. Expecting to settle positively. In a purple patch of form this preparation. Exotics and place contender. WAR AND MAJESTY (10) Produced an eye catching run when 3rd beaten by 4 1/4L last run at this venue and facing a rise in trip.

Ran on when 3rd beaten by 3 1/4L last start at the track and racing over a longer distance. Added confidence jockey with Irad Ortiz Jr doing the steering. Definite claims for punters.

Odds of $23.00 and showed some merit late when 5th last start at this track and can find a nice position from the draw. Might be ridden for luck. Needs a mighty effort to win this.
