Keeneland Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
KAVOD (6) was far too good first up last start when he scored by 6 lengths over 1609m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Second-up record is strong and will be a tough nut to crack again. SMOKEN BOY (3) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Turfway Park but raced below expectations last time over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic), finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. INEXORABLE (2) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1710m at this track. Definite top-three chance. TUSKEGEE AIRMEN (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1408m. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. Something for the Multiples: HONKY TONK HIGHWAY (5)

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Comes off a 42 day let-up. Resuming 2nd of 7 at Turfway Park on February 18 over 1207m, 5 len behind My Own carrying 56kg at $17.29. Second run from a spell got back early 5th of 7 at Turfway Park on March 4 over 1308m, 4.5 len behind Dr Saikali with 56kg at $9.61. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Before that 4th of 10 at Fairgrounds on February 14 over 1207m, 5 len behind Maximum Bourbon with 54.5kg at $11.30. Genuine hope on best form.

Second-up. Comes off a 38-day let-up. First-up after three months won by 6 len at Fairgrounds March 8 over 1609m defeating Curahee carrying 55kg at $2.20. Previously second-up 6th of 8 at Colonial Downs in LR on July 26 over 1408m, 12 len behind Patriot Spirit carrying 56kg at $11.50. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.
