Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
FLICK (3) changes rider since being well held last time in fifth over 1408m at Colonial Downs (Dirt) on August 1. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. COFFEE TALK (7) was well fancied last start over 1811m at Ellis Park (Turf) when fifth, beaten 9 lengths. Can bounce back. RIDGE OF FIRE (5) turned in a moderate debut over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt) on August 17 when he was safely held in sixth, 13 lengths from the winner. Will take a lot from that experience. Likely to feature. MIDNIGHT VENGEANCE (4) showed good early speed when resuming last start before boxing on well and finishing third, beaten 4 lengths, over today's trip at Ellis Park (Dirt). Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention.
