Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
COMPREHENSIVE (8) Tailed off to finish 7th last run at Ellis Park. Should improve here. Should race on the speed. In fine form this campaign. Can win. KELZ (10) Resuming after a break. Came in 3rd last start at Oaklawn Park and good career start. A win wouldn't surprise. WAR AND MAJESTY (7) Folded up in the straight when 8th last start at Saratoga. Can make a comeback but down in trip. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. QUICK PICK (3) Ran on strongly when 3rd beaten by more than 2 1/2L last start at Saratoga and fitter for debut run. Looks to have a good chance of placing.

Managed to place 2nd beaten by just over 10L last time at Belterra Park and has a nice advantage with a good gate. Solid career start. Not at all out of this race.

Started at $14.00 and was making up some late ground when 4th last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and has a positive alley. Likely to get back in the field. Slight prospect.

At $4.00 didn't find the line when 7th last run at Ellis Park. Should improve here. Should be going forward early. Exhibiting good form this preparation. Win will not surprise.

At $23.00 disappointing effort when 11th last run at Ellis Park but having second career run. Does take a while to get into stride. Long shot.
