Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
VERTRAUEN (6) started at $2.80 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 1207m. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. TEXAS TOWN (3) returned from a spell seven-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 7 lengths into seventh over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Strips fitter and can feature. GOLD SEARCH (7) is back at the races for the first time since June 26. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1408m at this track. Definite top-three chance. TIVERTON (4) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing seventh last time out over 1408m at Keeneland. Something for the Multiples: FLOTATION STATION (5)
