Keeneland Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
TROUBLESHOOTING (1) returns from a break of five months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a ninth over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. MY OWN (8) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Well-placed and should be tough to rein in again. ARREST ME RED (11) won first up at Turfway Park then finished second last time out over 1207m in Listed grade at Turfway Park (Synthetic), beaten 6 lengths. Has a solid record at the third run in so a big run is likely. WORKS FOR ME (6) turned in a fair effort in Listed grade at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) over 1006m at his last run nine weeks ago, finishing fifth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Among the better hopes.
