Keeneland Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
NATIONAL ECLIPSE (1) met with strong support when he resumed three weeks ago over 1710m at Churchill Downs and was only beaten 1.3 lengths into fourth. It doesn't get any easier but with added fitness he is capable of testing his rivals. JUS TOO FLY (3) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1609m at Belterra Park Turf (Turf). Going up a level this time but he cannot be underestimated. MANFREDI (7) won over 1710m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on February 21. Has found the right race and is worth including. PROFESSOR HIGGINS (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Ellis Park Turf, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.

Last start 6th of 9 at Churchill Downs on September 10 over 1710m, 3.5 len behind Fast Solution with 55.5kg at $12.10. Before that won by 3 len at Ellis Park on July 11 over 1609m defeating Nip N Tuck carrying 56.5kg at $4.86. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
