Keeneland Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
DON'T TELL MOM (8) sets the standard after a decisive Churchill Downs F Mdn win, scoring by just under six lengths as favourite at her second start. She had already shown enough on debut when third to HARMONIOUSLY, and the combination of current form, third-up fitness and a perfect two-from-two place record makes her the one to beat. RIGHT IN TIME (9) won on debut at this track over 1207m, beating Niosa by a length and a half with something in reserve, and remains open to further improvement despite the new 1408m test. SHE'S TOASTY (6) was even more dominant on debut, putting six and a half lengths on Flaming Verdict at Churchill Downs, though she also has to prove herself at this distance. HARMONIOUSLY (4) resumes unbeaten after a narrow Ellis Park debut win and has the useful reference point of having beaten DON'T TELL MOM, but the three-month break keeps her in the place mix rather than above the fitter main hopes.

Returns from a two-month break after a testing run in the G3 Pocahontas Stakes, where she was fifth of seven behind Manuka Honey at Churchill Downs and beaten over 16 lengths after settling rearward. The start prior was a sharp F Mdn win at Parx, beating Turning To Gold by ten lengths as an odds-on favourite. Class relief and barrier one help, but she has a fair bit to repair against these.

Led but faded out of the G1 Frizette Stakes at Belmont Park, finishing sixth behind Dotsy and beaten over 14 lengths at long odds. She had won a Del Mar F Mdn start prior, scoring by a length over Dear Diary from just behind the leaders, and the winning rider is back aboard. The new 1408m trip is a query and her latest figure leaves her with ground to make up.

Ran a much better race at this track last start, finishing second to Seaside Startup in a F ALLOW over 1207m and beaten a length after leading. That was a solid bounce from a Listed race at Kentucky, where she was last behind Seneca Park and beaten over 15 lengths. She has already been unplaced at around 1408m, so she shapes more as a genuine placing chance than a clear winning play.

Returns from a three-month break as an unbeaten filly, having won her Ellis Park debut in a F Mdn by a nose from Jump Seat at long odds. That form has direct relevance, as she beat Don't Tell Mom there a couple of months ago. The 1408m trip is new and she resumes without a recent race, but the debut win showed enough determination to keep her in the minor-money picture.

Returns from a five-week freshening after making a strong debut statement at Churchill Downs, where she won a F Mdn by six and a half lengths from Flaming Verdict as a well-supported favourite. She opened up late and gave nothing else a chance, which reads well for a filly having only her second start. The 1408m trip is new, but the debut win earns her serious respect in the finish.

Back after one month following a distant third at Horseshoe Indianapolis, where she was beaten over 15 lengths by Stella's Mischief despite getting into the placings. Her start prior was stronger, finishing second to Liams Fancy by half a length at big odds. The 52kg impost and apprentice claim are useful, but the first go at 1408m requires a clear career-best effort.

Returns from a six-week freshening in strong order after winning a Churchill Downs F Mdn by just under six lengths as favourite. She had been third on debut at Ellis Park, beaten just over half a length by Harmoniously, so the form has already stood up within this field. Now third-up and still improving through two starts, she brings the cleanest profile and rates the horse they have to beat.

Won on debut at this track over 1207m, beating Niosa by a length and a half after leading to the turn and keeping finding with a bit up the sleeve. She was near the top of an open market, so the performance carried some expectation as well as merit. The 1408m distance is new, but one win from one start at this venue gives her a strong platform to go close again.
