Keeneland Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
GUNMETAL (9) Back after a break. Nice run when 3rd last time at Gulfstream Park. Flavien Prat is a key booking. Must respect in this event. TIP TOP THOMAS (7) Resuming from a 26 week spell. Came in 2nd last time at Aqueduct but back to a shorter trip. Gains the services of jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. Can win. RETRIBUTION (2) Was eating up the ground late to win last run at Fair Grounds and having second career run. Has a great burst of speed late. Drawn nicely. Looks a value runner. DR RUBEN M (8) Finished 4th last time at Turfway Park and back in trip. Looks a great place bet.
