Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming

BIRCH RUN (2) has Jose Ortiz going aboard after she was well held last time out in fifth over 1710m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Rates highly and should atone for that last run. LEXICO (6) was well fancied last time and finished a close second over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt) to remain a maiden. Among the top chances. WATERSHED MOMENT (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1308m at Ellis Park, beaten 7 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Must raise the bar but a better run is on the cards. DEPENCIER (3) is a maiden with three minor placings to her name. Could not improve on that record when resuming last start, winding up in sixth over 1710m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Was in the placings at her only other second-up run. Likely improver with blinkers added.
