Keeneland Race 8 - Palisades S. Stakes
SCHWARZENEGGER (4) closed last prep five-and-a-half months ago when he finished fifth over 1006m at Del Mar Turf. Leading player. THROCKMORTON (10) is a handy galloper who was a nose from the winner in second when resuming last start over 1006m at Gulfstream Park All Weather. Leading player. INTRICATE SPIRIT (11) went forward when resuming last start over 1006m in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) and held on well for third, beaten 1.75 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. SHIPMATE (12) scored last start in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) to make it three wins from six starts this campaign. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Solid claims on best form.

Second run back. First-up after four months won by a 0.3 len at Sunland Park March 27 over 796m defeating El Huarache Prieto with 57kg at $2.80. Previously second-up scored a big 6 len win at Remington Park Turf September 27 over 1006m defeating Renton with 54.5kg at $2.20. This is tougher so prefer others.

Comes off a 44 day let-up. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 3 len at Turfway Park March 6 over 1308m defeating Uncle Bucky carrying 55.5kg at $3.25. The start before that 6th of 8 at Turfway Park in LR on January 17 over 1609m, 6 len behind Street Beast with 53.5kg at $7.28. This looks too tough.
