Churchill Downs Race 9 - Maxfield S. Stakes
BRANT (4) First up today. Lost ground in the run home when 5th last start at Santa Anita. Capable of a strong comeback and showing consistent performance in races. Genuine winning chance. DEEP FLAME (7) Bolted in when winning by 7L last start around here and solid career start. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr is a plus. Has run into the placings all attempts this preparation. Suitably placed in this race. AMERICAN MAN (5) Rounded them up to win last time here and good career start. Been in the money each start this campaign. Better claims. PRIZE PICK (6) Controlled the pace when winning by 3 1/4L last run here. Made it 2 wins in succession. Likely to be well placed early. Suggest each way.

Was strong late when 3rd last start at Laurel Park and has drawn the rails. Will be motoring home late. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Was overpowered late when 3rd last time at Oaklawn Park but competing in a higher grade. Racing consistently this prep. Will be trying to topple them late. Not hopeless.

Resuming. Was $3.25 and didn't find the line when 5th last start at Santa Anita. Capable of a strong comeback and promising career start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Commands respect.

Finished well when winning last time at this venue and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. Looks like solid value.

Gave them all something to chase when winning by 3 1/4L last run at the track. Undefeated last 2 runs. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Good chance of taking this out.
