Keeneland POST SCRATCHES – FAST / FIRM

R6 – Alw 58k N1X (8.5F)

#10 Tennessee (3-1) – Should take to the turf just fine, but will have to set reasonable fractions if he wants to stick around at the end.
#4 Jubal (5-1) – Is in good form and will be forwardly placed in a race that lacks plenty of early zip.
#1 Approvethismessage (12-1) – Looks like he’s finally figured it out and should be with the lead pack.
#7 Gin Riki (9-2) – Comes in after facing stakes company and will make his presence felt late.

R7 – MSW 56k (2yo f 6.5)

#5 Holders Season (9-2) – Was well meant in debut, but seems like he didn’t care for the muddy sealed track at BEL. Expecting him to fire from an ideal draw.
#6 Banner Waving (7-2) – Improved in 2nd start and another step forward makes him a huge threat here.
#4 Stageplay (6-1) – Tipped his hand with a sharp bullet last week proceeded by other fine works.
#8 Ready for Chianti (5-1) – Barn has lethal number when switching them Turf to Dirt.

R8 – OC 62k/N2X

#7 Make It Snappy (12-1) – The switch back to the Dirt and the 9 panels could be what the doctor ordered to spice up this sequence.
#6 Salama (8-1) – Group 3 winner in Peru will not have a problem with the distance and she’s been training well for Lopresti.
#8 Enchantress (9-2) – She has come up short knocking heads with some talented fillies and the stretchout should be within her scope.
#4 Lavender Chrissie (3-1) – Still lightly raced and routing might be her thing. Tough to swallow a short price with her.

R9 – G1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (Turf 9F)

#9 Sentiero Italia (6-5) – Her versatility makes her the one to beat despite the outside draw.
#2 Prize Exhibit (GB) (6-1) – Benefits from the inside post, as she’ll save ground and attempt to get by the top choice.
#8 Feathered (5-1) – Got a confidence booster in latest and will probably take an early lead. Castellano will have to do his best work to get her to the wire first.
#3 Temple City (5-1) – She’s super consistent and has come up short versus top choice in last 2. Major player underneath.

R10 – Md 30k

#5 White Gladiator (7-2) – Wakes up with the drop and 1st time dirt for sharp barn.
#6 Battleback John (12-1) – Court should have her towards the front which could be dangerous at 9 panels versus this group.
#1 Calumet Entry (7-2) – Both dropping and either can get it done at this level.
#7 Ain’t Hesitatin (10-1) – Has been knocking on the door versus lesser.

PK5 – 1 4 7 9 10 / 5 6 / 4 6 7 8 / 9 / 1 5 6 = $60 for $.50

PK4 – 2 4 5 6 8 / 4 6 7 8 / 2 9 / 1 5 6 = $60 for $.50

Good Racing Luck
