Churchill Downs Race 11 - Race 11 - Starter Allowance
KITTENS STORMY GAL (7) appeals off her last-start win at Churchill Downs over 1710m, coming from midfield to score by 0.5L. HEARTBEAT (2) rates the main danger after a strong 2nd here over 1609m last time, beaten 1.5L, and she has a solid local record. MCKINZIE'S GLORY (8) can bounce back; she won at 1609m two back and was runner-up at Oaklawn before a tougher AOC last start. CLASSIC GLIDE (11) has prior Churchill form, including a 2nd over 1710m last November, and drops back from tougher company. Heavy ground could make position and resilience key.
