Keeneland Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
FINAL THOUGHTS (1) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1710m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Expected to feature. BIRD THE LEGEND (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1308m at Churchill Downs. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. DA PRINCE IS RIGHT (8) has switched yards since finishing fourth seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1609m at Ellis Park. One of the genuine hopes in the race. FIGHT THE POWER (9) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 6 lengths back in fifth over 1106m at Fairmount Park (Dirt). Among the chances.
