Keeneland Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
BLAST FURNACE (3) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 2112m at Kentucky after being in contention on the bend. This doesn't look as hard so he is one of the main contenders. GOLD SOVEREIGN (4) returned last time with a solid third at Kentucky (Turf) over 2112m. This doesn't look as hard so he is one of the main contenders. CRYSTAL HILL (9) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing seventh over 2112m at Kentucky (Turf). Must be respected. KICKING CLEAR (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2414m at Kentucky, beaten 2.25 lengths. Fitter so can figure in the finish.
