Keeneland Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
CURAHEE (7) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1609m at Fairgrounds (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Will need a good ride from Jose Ortiz off the awkward draw. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. TAGLIATELLE (3) turned in an eye-catching run over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Watch for another barnstorming finish. TRACK RANGER (2) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1106m at Churchill Downs. Sure to make his presence felt. CHADO (5) was safely held when seventh last start over 1207m at Turfway Park, beaten 31 lengths after a good first-up win at Turfway Park. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 33-day let-up. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Fairgrounds on March 8 over 1609m, 6 len behind Kavod with 55kg at $3.20. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Fairgrounds on February 6 over 1710m, 3.5 len behind Glen Airy with 55kg at $3.30. Making headway. Likely to measure up again.
