Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
QUIGLEY (1) Good run when placing 2nd last time at the track and gets a favourable barrier. Mario Gutierrez and Brian A Lynch are a duo to watch closely. Well placed and has solid claims. FREDDY TAUBER (3) Rodolphe Brisset trained 2yo by Tapit having first start. Watch the betting. TRAVELIN (13) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at the track. Worth strong consideration. CODE OF BRAVON (12) 2yo by Corniche having first race start for trainer John Ennis. Keep your eye on the market.

Nice effort to run into 3rd beaten by 1L last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis and having second race start. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Must respect.

Managed to run into 2nd last start at Keeneland. Should be rolling forward early from the wide barrier. Going well this campaign. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.
