Keeneland Race 8 - Jessamine S. Presented By Keeneland Sales Stakes
GLYCOGEN (6) showed good early pace over 1710m at Listed level at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) last time and kept going to score by 1.3 lengths. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within her grasp. SENECA PARK (5) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 1308m at Listed level at Kentucky (Turf). Kept fresh and expected to be in the finish once again. MONIQUE EN VOL (3) impressed when successful on debut over 1609m at Kentucky (Turf) four weeks ago. Sure to play a major role. LUCKY BERNADINE (8) is a last-start winner three-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by 3.5 lengths over 1609m at Kentucky. Should run very well.

Last start 3rd in a small field in Listed grade at Saratoga Inner Turf at Saratoga Inner Turf on September 4 over 1710m, 5 len behind Glycogen carrying 55.5kg at $2.54. The run before that won by 3 len at Saratoga Inner Turf on July 10 over 1609m defeating Golden Siren carrying 56kg at $3.06. Might just find this lot a bit smart.

Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 9 in Listed grade at Kentucky at Kentucky on September 7 over 1609m, 1.75 len behind Citrus Springs with 53.5kg at $26.58. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Kentucky on August 29 over 1308m, nose behind Duty Bound carrying 53.5kg at $5.63. Not far away last time but hard to have in this contest.
