Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
AMAZING MAX (7) made a promising debut over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt) last start, finishing third and beaten 6 lengths. Promising type with improvement to come so he is worth following up. CHROME (1) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 16 lengths when ninth in a 1609m contest at Ellis Park three-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. CONCRETE OVERLAY (5) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Ellis Park Turf, beaten 8 lengths into sixth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. CAMPING SIETE (4) is yet to break through in six runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 8 lengths away in fifth over 1207m at Belterra Park (Dirt) last time. Chance on best figures and worth including. Something for the Multiples: TMAC'S ROYALTY (2) RITZY RAGS (3)

Raced twice to date. At very big odds at debut, ran last of 10 at Ellis Park Turf on August 8 over 1609m, 15 len behind Hit The High Note with 49.5kg at $64.09. Second-up ran second last of 12 at Kentucky on August 29 over 1609m, 18 len behind Jas carrying 54kg at $137.49. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.
