Keeneland Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
TWISTED VIPER (7) finished third, beaten 3.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after she was prominent at the turn. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. WATERSHED MOMENT (8) finished 7 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1308m at Ellis Park after being in the firing line on the turn when resuming from a spell. Steps up in journey today. Has a high cruising speed. Sure to be in the finish. SUMMER DATE (4) has missed the frame in both runs this time in, both on turf. Finished eighth at Kentucky fresh then again missed the frame when fifth at Churchill Downs Turf over 1811m four weeks ago. Hard to fault if at her best. Big chance to atone. LUNAR LOOP (2) could only manage to finish 11th, beaten 18 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after she got a long way back in the run. This looks a nice race so expect her to finish closer.
