Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
BIG DIG (3) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. This is a nice drop in grade so she is one of the main contenders. LITTLE DIXIE (2) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 3 length win over 1710m at this track (Dirt) last time. Down in the weights this time and is right in this. I HAD THAT ONE TOO (7) lines up for the first time since December 21. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1609m at Del Mar. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. ANIMAL FRIES (4) last appeared five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1710m at this track when she finished fourth. This is her first run for the Gustavo Esquivel stable. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.

Second-up. First-up after six months scored a big 3 len win at this track May 16 over 1710m defeating Wits And Wagers carrying 54kg at $3.65. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Hawthorne on July 27 over 1673m, 4.5 len behind Curls Nite Out with 53kg at $4.30. The one to beat based on that latest effort. Improver with winning prospects.

Comes here off a 37-day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at this track on May 8 over 1609m, 24 len behind Sassy Princess carrying 54.5kg at $2.80. The race before that 5th of 8 at Aqueduct on April 19 over 1811m, 6 len behind Waveless carrying 57kg at $3.23. Capable of more – worth another chance.

Comes here off a 37-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at this track on May 8 over 1710m, 4.5 len behind Gypsan carrying 53.5kg at $10.16. The start before that 5th of 9 at Turfway Park on March 26 over 1609m, 6 len behind Missy Bee with 55kg at $16.50. Hard to recommend.

Resumes after a break of six months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation sixth of 8 at Turfway Park December 21 over 2012m, 8 len behind Golden Sunshine with 56kg at $20.78. Previously first up; second of 9 at Del Mar July 26 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind Nanci Griffith carrying 56.5kg at $23.60. Could prove too smart for these.
