Keeneland Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
NEVER GONNA STOP (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf, beaten 3 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. PRACTICAL PATSY (11) has started twice, missing the frame on debut then doing a better job to finish second last time, beaten 1.3 lengths over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf). Has a strong finish. Hard to beat. STORMED OFF (2) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fifth at Kentucky (Turf) over 1308m, beaten 4.5 lengths. Expected to do much better.

At debut, eased back early on 5th of 10 at Kentucky on August 29 over 1308m, 4.5 len behind Duty Bound with 53.5kg at $7.06. Will have benefited from that outing and is likely to measure up.

At debut, 10th of 12 at Kentucky on September 7 over 1308m, 8 len behind Sea Isle City carrying 54kg at $16.22. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

At debut, 3rd in a small field at Saratoga on August 15 over 1207m, 12 len behind Libby Lloyd carrying 56kg at $7.09. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to be opening her account.

Third race start today. At debut, ran last of 7 at Ellis Park on August 17 over 1609m, 21 len behind Donie Maronie with 54kg at $6.04. Second-up ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Kentucky on September 7 over 1308m, 1.3 len behind Sea Isle City with 54kg at $10.11. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.
