Keeneland Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming

WHATCHATALKINABOUT (7) finished 11th over 1207m in the G1 Breeders' Cup Sprint at Del Mar (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on November 1. Has a solid first-up record of two wins and two placings from five runs. Looks a winning chance. KEEP IT EASY (4) returned from a spell six-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 8 lengths into sixth over 1710m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf. C Lanerie is a key engagement. Meets some better types this time but this is well within his grasp. KALAHARI DREAMS (3) returns from a layoff of four months. Scored over 1408m at Churchill Downs at the start of last prep. Can make his presence felt. FLOODLITES (1) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1207m at Aqueduct four-and-a-half months ago. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Don't underestimate.
