Keeneland Race 4

Mdn Special Weight

Prize Money: $122,126

GUT REACTION (9) was prominent from the outset on debut last start and held on well for second, beaten 4 lengths, over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Improver who looks a major player. CICERO AVE (4) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Big chance based on that effort. ROMO (2) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished 4.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1609m at Kentucky. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. COLTRANE (6) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1207m at Churchill Downs, an improvement on his eighth on debut at Saratoga the run before. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.

Was at big odds at debut, got back early 8th of 10 at this track on October 8 over 1207m, 19 len behind Divine Truth carrying 54kg at $27.99. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Was well-supported at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Churchill Downs on September 23 over 1609m, 4 len behind My Boy Gary with 54kg at $2.99. Encouraging signs on debut and another big run is likely.
