Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
GO GO PLAYMATE (7) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a nice progression on the first-up performance. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. ASHKENAZI (2) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten a nose after being prominent at the bend. Going up a level this time but she cannot be overlooked. ALTA AVENUE (3) improved sharply on her fourth two starts back at Keeneland (Dirt) with success over 1207m at Monmouth Park (Dirt) two weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. FRONT RUNNIN (6) was beaten 12 lengths into eighth over 1408m at this track five weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can atone.
