Keeneland Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Allowance

CLOONEY (5) is back at the races for the first time since February 8. Scored over 1609m at Santa Anita to launch the last campaign. Has recorded two wins when first up from a break. Has switched to the G D Foley yard. Looks a winning chance. AWESOME RUTA (8) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 2.5 lengths over 1710m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). Fitter for that last hitout and he is a major player again. TRUSTY RUSTY (1) finished a 0.8 lengths second on turf at Santa Anita Turf two back then followed up with another minor placing on turf at Santa Anita Turf over 1609m seven weeks ago. Reunites with J J Hernandez who has three wins from seven rides. Expected to measure up. CAROLO RAPIDO (2) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when fourth, beaten 7 lengths, at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1710m. Can continue the good form.
