Keeneland Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
AEGIS (2) went forward last start over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten a nose. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. HAUNTING ECHOES (3) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish second last start over 1308m at Parx (Dirt), beaten a nose as favourite. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. ARMY'S MARAUDER (9) fought on well for third last start over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Blinkers on should sharpen her right up. POISE (10) is a three-year-old filly on debut by Gun Runner from Etiquette who has been a fine producer including a winner at G1 level. Looks one of the better chances despite a difficult gate.

The race before that 2nd in a small field at Fairgrounds on January 30 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Queen Jubilee with 53kg at $3.30. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again.
