Keeneland Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
TWENTY TWO BLACK (5) was in the money two starts back at Fairgrounds but couldn't back it up last time when sixth, beaten 8 lengths, at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) over 1710m. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. MARKET WATCH (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at Turfway Park, beaten 22 lengths into 12th. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise. NASH POTATOES (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 13 lengths away in fifth over 1308m at Turfway Park. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth another chance. PROPS (2) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1710m. Finds a nice race and can atone.

Raced two times to date. At debut, eased back early on 7th of 12 at Oaklawn Park on February 14 over 1207m, 9 len behind Lil Trick with 55kg at $10.30. Second-up second last of 11 at Oaklawn Park on March 5 over 1207m, 15 len behind Mr Goodtime carrying 55.5kg at $18.10. This looks too tough.

Second-up. First-up after two months 8th of 10 at Turfway Park on March 12 over 1609m, 13 len behind Bourbon Flight carrying 57kg at $83.17. Previously second-up ran last of 9 at Turfway Park on January 8 over 1710m, 14 len behind Concrete Cruiser with 55.5kg at $35.73. Unlikely to threaten.
