Keeneland Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming
BULLARD (9) changes rider since being well held last time in ninth over 1811m in the G2 Charles Town Classic (Dirt) on August 28. Key runner on his best efforts. RENDER JUDGMENT (2) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1811m at Saratoga, beaten 2.5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. URBAN PLANNER (1) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1710m at Churchill Downs, finishing 7 lengths from the winner. Capable of playing a big role. WHO DEY (10) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 2012m at Thistledown. Genuine type with eight wins from 17 starts. One of the main contenders.

Comes here off a 43-day let-up. Last start 2nd of 7 at Saratoga on August 21 over 1811m, 2.5 len behind Georgia Magic with 57kg at $5.48. Before that 5th of 8 in the G3 Prairie Meadows Cornhusker Handicap on July 11 over 1811m, 10 len behind Navajo Warrior with 53kg at $24.90. Making headway. Likely to measure up again.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation third in a small field at Colonial Downs in the LR July 25 over 1811m, 2 len behind Inveigled with 55.5kg at $9.40. Previously first up; third in a small field at Fairgrounds in the LR December 20 over 1710m, 0.9 len behind Not This Boy with 53.5kg at $25.10. This looks too tough.
