Keeneland Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
MIZZOU (4) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1408m at Gulfstream Park after being in the firing line on the corner. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. PUTEKETEKE (3) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 1207m. Has a high cruising speed. Expecting a bold showing. GREAT MOMENT (2) showed good early speed when resuming last start before boxing on well and finishing second, beaten 4 lengths, over today's trip at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of another big run. RING CURL (7) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 1609m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
