Keeneland Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
DREAM MACHINE (4) returned last time with a solid third at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1308m. Ready to go a couple better. NOBLE ANTHEM (6) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished second, beaten 3 lengths, over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of another big run. COMMENTATE (2) stepped out for his debut over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) back on October 26 and finished eighth, beaten 11 lengths. Anticipating a bright return with Lasix added for the first time. MAYFIELD (7) debuted seven weeks ago when he finished sixth over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt), beaten 17 lengths. Can improve sharply.

Second run back. First-up after about 18 months 4th of 11 at Churchill Downs on September 13 over 1308m, 12 len behind Big Jake with 56kg at $66.01. Previously second-up 3rd in a small field at Aqueduct on March 22 2025 over 1609m, 0.5 len behind I'm Ready To Go carrying 54.5kg at $2.90. Unlikely to threaten.
