Keeneland Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
JUST A TOUCH (5) is a talented entire who was well held last time in tougher grade over 2012m in the G1 Santa Anita Handicap (Dirt). Has a high cruising speed. Best figures should see him run well. BIG TO DO (7) scored narrowly over 1710m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) last time out with today's jockey Antongeorgi Iii William in the irons. Gets some weight relief this time so another big run is on the cards. GREEN LIGHT (8) was fresh from a break of four months last start when beaten 2.75 lengths into second over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) after he was up on the pace all the way. Boasts three wins at this distance. Among the leading chances. LEGALIZE (3) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf), beaten half a length. Will trim down following recent racing. Capable of another top-three outcome. Something for the Multiples: MAYCOCKS BAY (1) CALIFORNIA BURRITO (10)
