Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance
CRUISIN IN HARMONY (1) did a good job last start to finish second in stakes class at Prairie Meadows (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten half a length. Should be at her peak now. Has been in the money at all three starts this preparation, including a win. Bold showing expected. ELEWENE (5) was less than a length from the winner in second at Ellis Park (Dirt) on debut before breaking through for a strong win over 1207m at Ellis Park last start. Capable of further improvement and can go on with the job. MARBLEHEAD (3) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 1408m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and she is definitely worth including. VALKYRIE (4) was beaten 8 lengths into fourth at the second run back from a break in a 1106m contest at Prairie Meadows at her latest appearance. Better than recent efforts suggest.
