Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

ONTHESTAGE (6) was prominent from the outset when second over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt) last time out. Likely improver who should run well. NEON NIGHTS (3) bounced back last start and scored by half a length after being prominent at the turn over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt). Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. MENA (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1308m at Keeneland, beaten 0.7 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. NATIONAL ECLIPSE (5) is having his first run since winning by 3 lengths five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1710m at Keeneland. Has transferred to the Bentley Combs stable over the break. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.

Before that 4th of 10 at Keeneland on October 2 over 1710m, on a wet track; 9 len behind National Eclipse with 55.5kg at $4.12. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.
