Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Allowance

SMOTED (8) impressed when successful on debut over 1207m at Belmont Park (Dirt) five weeks ago. Promising type who can go back-to-back. CARDIO CAT (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at Keeneland, beaten 12 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to test this field. ANNA BO BANNA (6) turned in a modest performance when fourth last start over 1207m at Keeneland, beaten 18 lengths. That followed a good win on debut at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is good enough to play a major role. CIARLATANO (5) made some progress last start to finish sixth over 1006m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 4 lengths. Stepping up in distance this time and is worth including.
