Churchill Downs Race 5

Allowance

Stake: -

GYPSY ART (6) Finished well when winning last time at this venue and showing consistent performance in races. Have to respect the recent Wesley A Ward form. Should be in the finish. ROSE RULER (7) Ran on strongly when 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last start at this track and promising career start. Been in the money each attempt this campaign. Must respect. DOUBLE TALKER (8) Solid run on the pace before weakening to finish 3rd beaten by nearly 2 1/2L last time at this venue and putting a tidy record together so far. Can give this a shake. WEAREBACKYOUNGMAN (2) Was making up some late ground when 4th last start here and has a good draw. Jockey Gabriel Saez and trainer J Kent Sweezey have a solid working relationship. Capable of better.

At $14.00 lost momentum late when 4th last run at the track and has the ideal alley. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Back to a shorter distance. One for the exotics.

Odds of $53.00 and weakened to finish 11th last run around here and up against a more competitive field. Might be ridden for luck. Can't entertain a bet.
