Keeneland Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
LYNN'S MILKY WAY (8) Won with a leg in the air by 8L last run at Gulfstream Park and good career start. Displays good tactical speed. Irad Ortiz Jr is highly regarded. One of the major players. NAIVE MELODY (4) Big effort to place 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last start at Aqueduct. Kent J Desormeaux has a good track record with the Wesley A Ward stable. Goes close. EVANESCENCE (1) Kept running on late when 3rd beaten by 2L last run at Fair Grounds and will appreciate a good draw. Should get going late. This field suits. VELVET VORTEX (2) Charged home to win last run at Fair Grounds and having second race start. Won't be far away during the run. Luis Saez and Brad H Cox deserve respect together. Not out of this.
