Keeneland Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
CLONMACNOISE (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1106m at Colonial Downs, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. GOAL TO GO (5) has not raced since being well supported on his debut back on August 2 when he finished sixth over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Capable of sharp improvement. EZ PAL (11) was well in commission on his debut over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) back on June 18 and finished seventh, beaten 9 lengths. One of the main chances with the blinkers coming off. JOE JOE DUDE (10) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1207m at Churchill Downs. This looks a good race for him so another forward showing looks likely.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 9th of 12 at Kentucky on August 30 over 1308m, 11 len behind Jaded carrying 54kg at $67.48. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.
