Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

CAN'T DENY IT (11) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 7 lengths away in tenth over 1006m at Listed level at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) on February 14. Has a strong record when resuming, including two wins. Expect a bold showing. ALDER (2) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when eighth over 1609m at this track (Turf) after he got a long way back. Has further improvement to come and looks the main danger. LET MY PEOPLE GO (10) lines up for the first time since November 14. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1106m at this track. Among the better hopes. NASTY HABIT (7) has been in good form, scoring three back at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) then placing twice in a row, most recently when third over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Nicely placed to figure in the finish. Something for the Multiples: GARDINER (6) MISTER MMMMM (9)

Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Oaklawn Park on May 1 over 1207m, 1.0 len behind Max Got Excited with 56kg at $3.50. The start before that rolled along in front then was edged out late second last in a small field at Oaklawn Park on April 11 over 1207m, 1.0 len behind Surveillance with 56.5kg at $5.30. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.
