Kentucky Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CIVETTA (1) is back after a break of four months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1106m at Keeneland Turf. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. READY TO JAM (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.5 lengths when fourth over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf three weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. Must raise the bar but a big run will not surprise. TURINO (6) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) but could only manage fifth, although only 1.75 lengths from the winner. Generally runs well second-up. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Capable of testing this field. WIND FLOWER (7) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1609m at Ellis Park Turf. Has been in strong form this prep with two wins from four outings. Must be respected.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of four months. Finished off last preparation fifth of 8 at Aqueduct Turf in the LR May 3 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind Love Cervere with 54.5kg at $10.94. Previously first up; third of 11 at Keeneland Turf October 5 over 1106m, 0.6 len behind Kuwaitya with 53.5kg at $5. Definite winning hope.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran second last in a small field at Saratoga Inner Turf on August 13 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind Table Flirt with 56kg at $9.56. The race before that 4th in a small field at Aqueduct Turf on June 25 over 1207m, 5 len behind Leslie's Humor with 56kg at $4.68. Big chance after a respectable effort last time out.
