Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
LITTLE DIXIE (3) is back at the races for the first time since November 28. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1609m at Prairie Meadows. Has found a suitable race. COULDYOUBELOVED (6) last appeared a month ago over 1308m at Keeneland when she finished fourth. This is her first run for the Eric Foster stable. Leading hope who should be tough to stop. Solid top-three chance for the new barn. WITS AND WAGERS (5) struggling to break through and over a year since a win, last start finishing second over 1646m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Has a decent record this track with a win and seven places from 12 starts and can do much better this time. FASTA LAVISTA BABY (2) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on March 6, finishing sixth and beaten 19 lengths over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be doing her best work late.

At the latest run second last in a small field at this track on April 25 over 1609m, 17 len behind Lady Orient with 56kg at $27.89. The race before that 9th of 11 at Turfway Park on March 28 over 1207m, 9 len behind Fancy Fascinator with 56kg at $18.75. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 31 day let-up. Most recently 4th of 7 at Keeneland on April 15 over 1308m, 7 len behind Black Ginger carrying 57kg at $3.65. Before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Turfway Park March 20 over 1308m defeating But Seriously carrying 56kg at $2.64. Capable of more – worth another chance.
