Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming

TAP TO OPEN (1) got off the mark over 1811m at this track (Dirt) last start, scoring by half a length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Serious contender again with the confidence high. BE THE LIGHT (3) was safely held when third last time out over 1710m at this track, beaten 8 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. That followed a win at Keeneland at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. ANSWERED PRAYERS (2) was safely held when second last time out over 1710m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. That followed a win at Keeneland at the previous outing. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SOLEMN VOW (6) has been freshened up since she finished seventh over 1408m in the G2 Eight Belles Stakes at this track (Dirt) eight weeks ago. Should park just off the speed. Not to be discounted. Something for the Multiples: LAKEN (5)

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. Last start 7th of 9 at this track in the G2 Eight Belles Stakes on May 1 over 1408m, 10 len behind On Time Girl carrying 53.5kg at $30.15. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Keeneland on April 4 over 1207m, 6 len behind Sippin Pretty with 53.5kg at $5.75. Easily accounted for last start but is capable of better.
