Keeneland Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
DON'T GHOST ME (7) met with solid support last start over 1207m at Delaware Park (Dirt) when third, beaten 4 lengths. Strong winning chance. COFFEE TALK (9) is still a maiden after five runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fifth over 1811m at Ellis Park (Turf). This offers him a great chance of breaking through. ALIAS (4) is resuming from a spell of eight months and having his first run for the William Walden yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Laurel (Dirt) over 1207m. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. NASH POTATOES (8) finished 9 lengths away in seventh at his last appearance over 1609m at Kentucky (Turf) on September 10. Appeals as a top-four contender.
