Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
LOTS OF KISSES (8) is back after a break of seven months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf). Has ability and can get off the mark. MARCHELINE (9) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 6 lengths from the winner in eighth at Keeneland Turf (Turf) over 1106m. Anticipating sharp improvement with the run under the belt. READY FOR A TITLE (3) is appearing for the first time. By More Than Ready and is out of the Dallas Stewart stable. Watch for a betting push. GERBER DAISY (4) is a five-start maiden who finished eighth, beaten 8 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1408m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
