Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
BARKSDALE (5) failed to run a strong 1408m last start after a close second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) the run prior. Freshened up so should be in the finish. RAVIN'S RANSOM (4) was handy on straightening and went on to finish second last start over 1207m at Fairmount Park (Dirt), beaten 0.1 lengths when resuming as favourite. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough. COOL COWBOY (6) raced below his best last time when sixth over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Finds a nice race and can atone. NO EASY DAYS (1) started at $5.50 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at Parx over 1308m. Good record at this journey with five wins and eight minor placings from 17 starts and is one of the better hopes.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 4th in a small field at Parx on October 14 over 1308m, 4.5 len behind Party At Sam's carrying 55.5kg at $5.50. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Parx on August 18 over 1308m, 6 len behind Paco The Taco Man with 55kg at $3. Should go well in this line up.

Second run back. First-up after four months ran last in a small field at Keeneland on October 23 over 1408m, 35 len behind Tarantino carrying 55kg at $12.97. Previously second-up ran second last in a small field at Fairgrounds on March 15 over 1207m, 8 len behind Furio carrying 54.5kg at $18.60. Must improve significantly.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. Most recently 5th of 7 at Keeneland on October 4 over 1408m, 4.5 len behind Tarantino with 55kg at $9.42. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on September 11 over 1207m, 0.3 len behind Tom Cat Tuesday with 55kg at $3.07. Capable of more – worth another chance.

At the latest run 2nd of 7 at Keeneland on October 14 over 1207m, 3 len behind Lucky Shot carrying 50.5kg at $2.66. The run before that ran last of 11 at Kentucky on September 9 over 1408m, 22 len behind Rose Ruler with 55kg at $35.53. Prefer in something a bit easier.
