Keeneland Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
CADENZA (11) missed the placings last time out over 1308m in the G2 Music City Stakes at Kentucky (Turf) but is far better placed over this shorter trip. Great chance to atone. SHOULD'VE (4) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by half a length over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf). Will be better for that latest run and this looks well within her grasp. LIGHT WON UP (10) finished fifth last start over 1308m in the G2 Music City Stakes at Kentucky (Turf) after racing on the pace for much of the way. Solid top-three claims. LAIGINA (12) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished second at Listed level at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) two starts back then landed the prize by 1.3 lengths last time out over 1308m in Listed grade at Kentucky (Turf). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. Something for the Multiples: PILLAR OF BEAUTY (8)
