Keeneland Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
AUTHENTIC STRIKE (2) finished fifth over 1609m at Oaklawn Park when resuming last start, beaten only 0.9 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. SEPTARIAN (6) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing ninth over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) last start. Well placed to make amends. CONQUEST WARRIOR (7) is a promising five-year-old entire who returned from a break last start and finished 1.3 lengths away in second over 1710m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Won at his only second-up appearance so there is plenty of upside. EXCITE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at Gulfstream Park, beaten 17 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Fitter and sure to run well.

Comes here off a 51-day let-up. Last start second last of 7 at Fairgrounds on February 19 over 1710m, 12 len behind Corporate Power with 55.5kg at $2.90. The race before that favourite; won by 1.0 len at Fairgrounds January 22 over 1710m defeating Crisis Manager carrying 54.5kg at $4.50. Genuine chance this time around.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming came from midfield and won by a nose at Tampa Bay Downs February 6 over 1646m defeating Freedom Principle with 54kg at $2.60. Second-up ran last of 9 at Turfway Park on March 11 over 1609m, 24 len behind First Strike carrying 56kg at $12.52. Should be near his top.
