Keeneland
POST SCRATCHES – FAST / FIRM
R6 – Starter Alw 50k (Turf 9F)
#7 Killeen (4-1) – Barn is winning with everything and this one will appreciate the return to the grass.
#6 Colonel Fred (20-1) – Hoping the switch back to the lawn wakes him up a t huge price.
#8 Bantu (3-1) – He’s been knocking on the door and with a firm course, we could see his best.
#5 Dubby Dubbie (4-1) – Expecting him to be forwardly placed and he’s been mixing it up with some good ones in New Orleans.
R7 – Alw 76k/N2L
#1 Autostrade (9-5) – Displayed his speed in debut going gate to wire and now must duplicate that from the rail. No cinch, but looms large.
#3 Chaos Theory (6-1) – Made up a bunch of ground to get the win at 1st asking on the turf and there’s plenty of speed lined up here.
#5 Shangroyal (3-1) – Exits turf stakes at Gulfstream and has the right style to be within striking range throughout. Barn always fires at this meet.
#8 Dreamer’s Point (5-1) – Turns back from route races where he came up short. If able to settle early, he could produce a nice late run.
R8 – Alw 76k/N1X (Turf 12F)
#5 Soglio (5-1) – BEST BET – Didn’t care for the soft going on opening weekend and gets a better post here. Expecting a big performance.
#11 Focus Group (8-5) – Making 1st start in almost 6 months, but figs and connections demand some serious respect.
#6 War Daddy (5-1) – Exits solid run off the bench at Fair Grounds and with the expected slight improvement, he’s right in the mix.
#10 Glad Moon (GB) (12-1) – Definitely a tough spot to face winners for the 1st time, but could clunk up to add value underneath.
R9 – Md 30k
#6 Strategic Ekati (5-1) – Red hot Cox send out the new addition with blinkers after being gelded. Big drop, so expect low odds by post time.
#11 Potomac (9-2) – 9 furlongs proved a bit too long, but he fits off the claim and should establish forward position throughout.
#1 The Narrowing Way (20-1) – Lopresti points to this meet to fire his best bullets and this one should not be ignored in this spot.
#7 Garey Park (6-1) – A minor award is well within his scope at this level in 7th start.
PK4 – 1 3 5 6 7 8 / 1 3 / 5 6 11 / 1 6 11 = $54 for $.50
Budget PK4 – 1 3 5 6 7 8 / 1 3 / 5 / 1 6 11 = $18 for $.50
