Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance
TITLE WORTHY (1) Charged home to win last time at Ellis Park and was on debut last time. Shows good early pace. Will appreciate a good draw. Up against a more competitive field. Genuine threat. NEVER A DOUBT (3) Unsatisfactory performance when 5th last time at Ellis Park. Overlooking the last run but racing in stronger company. Will be positive in the run early. Hard to dismiss. SARGENT BILKO (4) Weakened to finish 6th last time at Ellis Park. Expecting improvement but matched against tougher rivals. Rates well in this race. ISSACHAR (6) Was well beaten when 10th last run at Ellis Park but competing at a lower level of competition. Wider exotics hope.

Flew home to win last time at Ellis Park and fitter for debut run. Has plenty of early speed. Has drawn the rails. Competing in a higher grade. Should go close.

Jumped at $83.00 and tailed off to finish 8th last time at Ellis Park but stepping down to a lower level. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Needs too much luck.

Odds of $5.00 and just average when 5th last time at Ellis Park. Overlooking the last run but up in grade. Should muster plenty of early speed. Great chance.

Was $7.50 and didn't attack the line when 6th last time at Ellis Park. Expecting improvement but competing in a more challenging grade. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

At $83.00 average at best when 9th last run at Ellis Park but facing weaker opposition. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

Lost ground in the run home when 10th last run at Ellis Park but facing less formidable opponents. Pass.
