Keeneland Race 8 - Indian Summer S. Presented By Keeneland Select Stakes
FANSHELL BEACH (2) Resuming after a break. Showed a clean pair of heels to win by 1/2L last time at Ellis Park and has a good draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. Won't be far away. WOOD ISLAND (7) Dictated the tempo when winning by a margin of 2 3/4L last start at Saratoga but racing against tougher rivals. Worth strong consideration. RUIVA (8) Competed in a tight contest last start at Del Mar and going down in class. Expecting to settle positively. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation. Suitably placed in this race. ADONIUS (1) Claimed late when 2nd last run at York and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Won't be far away during the run. Placed at every start this preparation. A win wouldn't surprise.

Outgunned at the finish when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last run at York and drawn well. Should muster plenty of early toe. Promising career start. Has claims.

Resumes from a spell. Was much too speedy in front to win by 1/2L last time at Ellis Park and has a positive gate. Shows good early pace. Good potential.

Dictated terms in front when winning by a margin of a head last run at Saratoga but up against a more competitive field. Displays good tactical speed. Sharp improvement needed.

First run back from a break. Good run when placing 2nd beaten by 1/2L last time at Ellis Park and solid career start. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Very difficult to back.

Faded at the finish when 2nd last time at Churchill Downs but racing in stronger company. Should race on the speed. Unlikely to feature.

Controlled the speed to win by 6L last time at Ellis Park but facing a stronger class. Likely to be well placed early. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Close up last start at Del Mar and competing in a lower grade. Has shown early pace in races to date. Irad Ortiz Jr is a plus. Capable of winning this.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at Colonial Downs and good career start. Should be going forward early. Tyler Gaffalione and Kelsey Danner make a formidable team. Place and exotics candidate.
