Keeneland Race 9 - Maker's Mark Mile S. Stakes

NOTABLE SPEECH (4) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 1609m in the G1 Breeders' Cup Mile at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Leading hope despite the layoff. TIZ DASHING (11) impressed when he scored by 4 lengths first-up in a weaker race last start over 1710m in the G3 Canadian Turf Stakes at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Will be better for that latest run and looks a big threat to the top selection. RHETORICAL (1) returns from a layoff of five months. Scored over 1710m at Aqueduct Turf to launch the last campaign. Has never tasted defeat when fresh from a spell in two attempts. Can make his presence felt. DETERMINISTIC (10) is a strong first-up performer who is fresh from a spell of eight months. Was in great form before the break with three consecutive wins, the latest over 1609m at Saratoga Inner Turf. Has a formidable combination with K Carmouche who has been aboard for his last three wins. Solid claims on best form.

Second run back. Comes off a 41-day let-up. First-up after three months scored a big 4 len win at Gulfstream Park Turf G3 Canadian Turf Stakes February 28 over 1710m defeating Battle Of Normandy with 56.5kg at $12.40. Previously second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Gulfstream Park Turf in LR on December 13 over 1710m, 0.1 len behind Layabout with 56kg at $5.50. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.
