Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
PASSIONFRUIT (4) will find this a little easier than her second on debut three-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 3 lengths at the end of 1408m at this track (Dirt). Will benefit from that experience so she will be hard to beat. BOURBON STORY (2) is a three-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. PLAYING GAMES (6) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when seventh at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) over 1710m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Should do better this time around. IN FOR A SPIN (3) was in the money two starts back at Keeneland but couldn't back it up last time when sixth, beaten 21 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1710m. Nicely placed to make amends.

Last start second last of 7 at this track on May 15 over 1710m, 21 len behind Buckeye Bombshell carrying 56.5kg at $5.56. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Keeneland on April 15 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Getting Closer with 56.5kg at $18.17. Genuine chance this time around.

At debut, second last of 8 at Aqueduct Turf on May 7 over 1710m, 5.5 len behind Mermaid carrying 54.5kg at $5.04. Sure to improve and can measure up this time.

Second-up. First-up after two months 7th of 12 at this track on May 9 over 1408m, 7 len behind Tanya's Momentum carrying 53.5kg at $16.12. Previously second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 8 at Oaklawn Park on February 8 over 1710m, 5.5 len behind Take Charge Macy with 55kg at $8.10. Unlikely to threaten.
