Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Allowance

CARDIO CAT (2) Caught the eye when 2nd last start at Keeneland and has a good draw. In fine form since resuming from a spell but matched against a stronger field. Has the ability to figure. SMOTED (8) Won by a huge margin of 4 1/2L last start at Belmont Park and was on debut last time. Flavien Prat is highly regarded but taking on stronger competition. Will be there at the finish. ANNA BO BANNA (6) Advanced late into 4th last time at Keeneland but matched against tougher rivals. Must respect in this event. SPEECH AND DRAMA (1) Won easily by just over 7L last start around here and gets a favourable gate. Coming to a new trainer and putting a tidy record together. Can feature.

Spaced the field to win by a margin of more than 7L last start at the track and showing consistent performance in races. First appearance for a new trainer. One that represents value at a decent price.

Managed to run 2nd beaten by 12L last start at Keeneland and has a positive barrier. Producing consistent results since resuming from a break but competing in a higher grade. Good chance at a nice price.

Odds of $6.50 and didn't attack the line when 8th last run at this venue and competing at a higher class. Can go through the gears. Down in distance. Best to watch only.

Started $9.50 and couldn't maintain the pace when 9th last start at this venue but honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should muster plenty of early toe. Nice chance at a very tempting price.

At $5.00 chased well when 4th last time at Keeneland but up against stronger opponents. Solid prospects.

Rocketed home when winning last start at Keeneland but facing formidable rivals. Should be swooping on the field late. Place and exotics candidate.

Won with a leg in the air by 4 1/2L last start at Belmont Park and having second race start. Flavien Prat is an advantage but racing in stronger company. Forward showing expected.
