Keeneland Race 10 - Toyota Blue Grass S. Stakes
RIVER THAMES (1) Threw down a serious challenge last run at Gulfstream Park and promising career start. Should jump out and bowl along. Gets a favourable barrier. Key player. CHANCER MCPATRICK (6) Picked up late ground when 2nd last run at Tampa Bay Downs and showing consistent performance in races. Finishes off strongly. Flavien Prat has been successful aboard previously. Respect against this field. BURNHAM SQUARE (3) Got going late when 4th last start at Gulfstream Park and solid career start. Will be trying to topple them late. Racing consistently this preparation. Well placed and has solid claims. OWEN ALMIGHTY (4) Set the pace to win by 3 1/2L last time at Tampa Bay Downs and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Has early speed and positions nicely. Possesses the talent and has some chance.
