Keeneland Race 10 - Race 10 - Maiden Special Weight
DEMOCRACY DEFENDER (10) met with solid support last start over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) when second, beaten 4.5 lengths. Can bounce back. PRIZE PICK (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in third over 1509m at Gulfstream Park Turf after being in the firing line on the turn. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. LEMON'S LAW (4) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) after being in contention on the bend. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. EPIC HORSEPOWER (12) closed last prep with a 12th over 1811m at this track on October 25. Worth noting that he opened the last campaign with a minor placing at Ellis Park Turf over 1609m. Blinkers added; should be competitive. Something for the Multiples: RAVENOUS (3)
