Lukas in the Trial: Touchdown
Finally, Titletown Five (5-1) is getting back to what he does best: going one turn at middle sprint distances. The Grade 3 Derby Trial fits the bill as he turns back off a strongly contested pace in the La.Derby won by one of the favorites in the big dance next weekend. The outside draw and Gary Stevens doesn't hurt.
Taking Titletown Five to win the Trial at 5-2 or greater in today's 10th race on the opening day Churchill Downs program. Or should I say opening night.

Block’s Horse Owes Me Big Time
When last seen, Ioya Bigtime (3-1) was setting an extremely fast pace going a mile and a half in the Grade 2 Pan American at Gulfstream and stayed very gamely for place. Veteran marathoner earns good figures with consistency and should make amends if not unduly pressured in today's meet closing Elkhorn.
Taking Ioya Bigtime to win at 2-1 or greater and keying him first and second in multiples with Pool Play (4-1), Al Khali (7-2) and Forte Dei Marmi (6-1).

Mama Mia
Today's featured G3 Bewitch presents a well matched bunch of fillies and mare marathoners going 12 furlongs in which recent winner Regalo Mia (7-2) appears to hold a slight edge.
In winning her lone start this year, Gulfstream's G3 Orchid, she made a bold, wide rally, living up to the promise shown last year and drew off impressively with seemingly a little something left in the tank. She'll need those reserves to handle this group but is likely to get a decent trip from the extreme outside, sitting right off Scampering as the field curls into the first turn.
Taking Regalo Mia to win at 3-1 or greater and key boxing her in multiples with Quisichi (10-1), well drawn and reunited with Prado, and the very well bred Gathering (3-1) looking to make it two straight in her return to the U.S.
