Keeneland Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
BRAVERTHANUBELIEVE (1) made it three straight wins when resuming over 1308m at Saratoga (Dirt) last start, getting home by 4 lengths. Far too good last time out and will take beating again. SNEAKY GOOD (5) finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in second when resuming last start at Listed level at Laurel (Dirt) over this distance. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from three starts. Well placed in this easier race. Bold showing expected. CARMEL COAST (6) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race at her last run on August 8 and finished seventh behind Explora over 1408m in the G1 Test Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). Among the chances on her best figures. WHERE LUCK LIVES (7) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 54 lengths away in eighth over 1408m in the G1 Test Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) on August 8. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Solid claims on best form.
