Keeneland Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Allowance
INDY CHARGES ON (3) resumed over 1408m last time out and turned in a solid effort to finish third at Colonial Downs (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. The one to beat. TRUSTY RUSTY (4) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 1609m at Saratoga (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. PIKE PLACE (1) is back at the races for the first time since May 1. Scored over 1609m at Sam Houston Park Turf at the start of last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. CREATIVE MINISTER (5) finished third last time over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.8 lengths. Will trim down second-up. In the mix.
