Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
LIFES REWARD (5) is back after a break of a year. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Rates on top and is a great chance to break through. DIXIE DEVIL (7) is yet to break through in nine runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1609m at this track (Dirt) on May 24 after he was well back on straightening. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. TORRE EIFFEL (1) is a six-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing second at this track (Dirt) over 1408m last time out. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. WINGFOOT (2) was in contention on the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1408m at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders.
