Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

MISTER BANDERAS (7) was safely held when 11th last time out over 1207m at Fairgrounds, beaten 15 lengths. That followed a win at Fairgrounds at the previous outing. This doesn't look as hard so he is a leading player. YOU BELONG HERE (3) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Fairgrounds, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. AERATE (6) was a winner over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by 1.75 lengths. Likely to feature again. GALLO DE FUEGO (5) has not appeared since he finished third over 1408m at Tampa Bay Downs on March 6. A bold showing is expected.
