Keeneland Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
TOMASELLO (1) Displayed good finishing speed when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last run at Gulfstream Park and gets the perfect gate. Has plenty of early speed. Going well this campaign. Will be there at the finish. SPECIAL SESSION (4) Resuming. Was strong late when 2nd beaten by 2 1/2L last run at Woodbine and good career start. Showing improvement in recent outings. Good prospects. COURAGEOUS CLAY (5) Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd beaten by 3L last time at Turfway Park. Has early speed and positions nicely. One of the major players. EXCITE (12) Outgunned at the finish when 3rd beaten by 1/2L last start at Gulfstream Park. Has the speed to overcome the wide alley. Won't be far away.

Finished with intent when 3rd last start at Gulfstream Park and fitter for debut run. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Hard to entertain.

Disappointing run when 8th last time at Turfway Park but having second career run. Likely to get back in the field. Facing a rise in trip. Will be facing a challenge.

Close to a win last run at Gulfstream Park and having second career run. Luis Saez and Brad H Cox have a high strike rate together. One for the exotics.

Was outmuscled when 3rd beaten by 1/2L last start at Gulfstream Park. Should be rolling forward early from the wide barrier. Has claims.
