Keeneland Race 6 - Appalachian S. Presented By Japan Racing Association Stakes
FIONN (3) Ran home strongly to win last time at Fair Grounds and solid career start. Has not missed this preparation with 3 wins from as many starts. Gets a chance to win. NITROGEN (1) Was eating up the ground late when winning last start at Tampa Bay Downs and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Will appreciate a good barrier. Worth strong consideration. VIXEN (2) Flew home to win last start at Gulfstream Park and ideal trip as proven previously. Hasn't put a foot wrong this preparation with 2 wins from 2 starts. Has the ability to figure. FOXTASTIC (9) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time at Turfway Park and promising career start. Should be rolling forward early from the wide gate. Could work into the placings.
