Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
MORINGA (3) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish sixth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Can easily finish right over the top of these. RIDE THE BROOM (10) went forward last start and gave a great sight when second over 1609m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Should settle on the speed despite the draw. Expected to be in the finish. RUSH TO GLORY (2) was in contention on the bend and finished second last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt), beaten one length. Ready to go one better. VIOLENCES OHR (9) finished second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Capable of another top-three outcome.
