Keeneland Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Allowance

SLICKBACK (4) impressed when successful on debut over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf) five weeks ago. Looks promising and can measure up again. VISSINO (2) is a talented gelding who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 7 lengths behind Mid American over 1308m in Listed grade at Kentucky (Turf). Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Should be in the finish. DETENTION (1) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be underestimated. SARGENT BILKO (7) improved last start to finish second over 1207m at Churchill Downs. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 40 day letup. First-up came from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Saratoga on July 19 over 1106m defeating Tonja's Treasure carrying 56kg at $4.36. Second-up ran second last of 11 in stakes class at Kentucky at Kentucky on August 29 over 1308m, 9 len behind Mid American with 54.5kg at $12.50. Can improve on recent efforts.
