Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

RELEASE MCCRAKEN (1) comes here off a break of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1609m at Remington Park. Has a solid first-up record of two wins and three placings from six runs. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. ETHEREAL ROAD (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at this track, beaten 1.1 lengths into fourth. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. SANT' ANTIMO (3) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1811m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. AMERICAN BLAZE (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Capable of featuring prominently.
