Keeneland Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
ROGUE METEOR (8) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf). Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. CASTLE PINES (4) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1408m at Kentucky, beaten only half a length. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. OSCAR CHEER (11) was fair on debut last start when seventh over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf). Tackles a longer journey this time. Strong top-three chance. ARSENAL STAR (2) was fair on debut last time out when seventh over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf). Should appreciate the extra ground. Open to improvement and looks a contender.
