Keeneland Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming

REAL MACHO (6) last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1609m at Churchill Downs when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Robertino Diodoro stable. Expecting a seamless transition. LIGHT THE WAY (4) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1509m last time, finishing seventh and beaten 63 lengths. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. SMOKEN BOY (1) held on well to finish second last time out over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after leading for much of the way. Will push forward and is among the chances. REAL FAST (5) is back at the races for the first time since July 26. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf. Can make his presence felt.
