Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
VIVALDI (10) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work, working home in good style at the most recent outing to finish second over 1811m at this track (Turf). Big chance to break through. SOME PERFORMANCE (4) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent appearance over 1811m at this track (Turf). Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. MOON CHANNEL (6) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1811m at this track (Turf). Going well and can feature again. MARY'S LAD (7) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1609m at this track (Turf). Likely improver worth including.
