Entries for Saturday’s 39th running of the $100,000-added Cardinal Handicap (GIII)at Churchill Downs will be taken Wednesday and the field for the 1 1/8-mile event for fillies and mares on the Matt Winn Turf Course is beginning to take shape. 
 
Leading the list of probable starters is James Miller’s Daisy Devine, winner of the Jenny Wiley (GI) in April at Keeneland. In her most recent start, she finished second to Tapitsfly in the First Lady (GI), which also was run over the turf course at Keeneland.
 
In her lone start over the Matt Winn Turf Course, the Andy McKeever-trained Daisy Devine ran fifth behind Hungry Island in the Churchill Distaff Turf Mile (GII). She will carry 122 pounds and be ridden by Calvin Borel. 
 
Others expected to enter the Cardinal Handicap, with trainer and assigned weight, include Bizzy Caroline (Ken McPeek, 118), La Cloche (Jimmy Toner, 118), Julie’s Love-GB (Graham Motion, 117), Affair Dabbler (David Kassen, 115), Fugitive Angel (Jonathon Sheppard, 115) and Revelstoke (Jimmy Corrigan, 114).
