Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
AMAZING MAX (7) Finished well when 3rd last run at Ellis Park and was a debutant last start. Jockey Tyler Gaffalione and trainer Brad H Cox are usually competitive when they team up. Has plenty of claims. CONCRETE OVERLAY (5) Finished 6th last run at Ellis Park. Should bounce back. Yedsit Hazlewood rates highly. Fights on bravely so consider. TMAC'S ROYALTY (2) Closed off nicely when 5th last start at Louisiana Downs and fitter for debut run. First start for a new trainer and drawn nicely. Stepping up in distance. Good each way value for punters. RITZYRAGS (3) Fresh after a break. Weakened under pressure when 5th last time at Presque Isle Downs but having second career run. Should muster plenty of early toe. Don't disregard. Something for the Multiples: RITZY RAGS (3)

Was $3.75 and edged past some when finishing 5th last start at Louisiana Downs and was on debut last time. First race for a new trainer. Likely to be an exotics contender.

Fresh after a break. Started at $5.00 and faded to finish 5th last time at Presque Isle Downs but having second race start. Has early speed and positions nicely. Should be included in your exotics.

Started at $10.00 and came in 6th last run at Ellis Park. Should bounce back. Yedsit Hazlewood is a suitable booking. Strong chance to be considered.

Jumped at $43.00 and gave away some ground when 10th last start at Ellis Park but going up in distance. Likely to settle back in the field. Place claims at best.
