    Race Analysis

    GRAY LIGHTNING (3) changes rider since being well held last time in fifth over 6½f in Listed grade at Churchill Downs (Dirt) on September 13. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. KEY TO SUCCESS (5) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), scoring by 1. 3 lengths. Has a strong record at this course, scoring five times from 10 starts. Should be in the finish. OVERLY DRAMATIC (4) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold third, beaten 8 lengths, over this journey at this track (Dirt). Ready to go a couple better. DANCE MY WAY (2) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third over 6f at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways.
