Keeneland Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance
LUCKY BERNADINE (4) recorded a strong maiden win over 1609m at Kentucky (Turf) last time, getting there by 3.5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and she can go on with it. EARLY AUTUMN (2) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in the tougher race won by Citrus Springs over 1609m at Kentucky, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Can play a big role in this company. SMOKE (8) tackled the over 1609m at Kentucky last time out when fresh from a spell and was beaten 5 lengths into sixth by Citrus Springs. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. DAZZLING (6) ran fifth at her latest appearance over 1609m at Kentucky, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner. Has solid credentials.
