Keeneland Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
GILDED CRAKEN (5) finished third at Saratoga Inner Turf two runs back but was less effective last time over 2112m at Kentucky (Turf), finishing 22 lengths back in eighth. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. ALDER (7) scored a 0.1 lengths win on dirt at Saratoga Turf two starts back but then disappointed on turf last time at Churchill Downs Turf over 1609m when 3 lengths from the winner in fifth. Better placed here and expecting he will make amends. MORUNNING (2) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when 12th over 1609m at Del Mar Turf seven weeks ago. The engagement of Luis Saez is a positive move. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DANCE SOME MO (1) had support when resuming last time out but never threatened when a disappointing fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1710m at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Second-up record is sound. Solid contender in this line up.

Second-up. First-up after three months 5th of 7 at Colonial Downs on September 6 over 1710m, 6 len behind Preacha Meyers carrying 55.5kg at $3. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Churchill Downs on September 12 2024 over 1710m, 3 len behind Gilded Craken carrying 55.5kg at $2.79. Likely improver.

Second-up ran last of 12 at Del Mar Turf on August 22 over 1609m, 8 len behind Lonesome Stew carrying 55kg at $33.50. Should be right in the finish.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Last start 6th of 8 at Saratoga on September 5 over 1609m, 14 len behind Wynstock with 56kg at $36.99. Before that 5th of 7 at Saratoga on August 14 over 1408m, 15 len behind Contrary Thinking carrying 57kg at $22.90. Win doesn't look likely.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently ran second last of 9 at Kentucky on September 5 over 2112m, 22 len behind Idratherbeblessed with 55.5kg at $3.57. The start before that 3rd of 10 at Saratoga Inner Turf on July 17 over 2213m, 2 len behind Right To Vote with 57kg at $8.26. Capable of a better run.

Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Churchill Downs Turf on September 20 over 1609m, 3 len behind Show Of Force carrying 55.5kg at $26.70. The race before that won by a 0.1 len at Saratoga Turf on August 23 over 1106m defeating Billionaires Row carrying 57kg at $4.69. Sure to be right there at the business end.
