Keeneland Race 8 - Franklin S. Stakes
AG BULLET (7) showed good early dash and raced on the speed at the first run back from a break last start before fading to finish 6 lengths back in eighth over 1308m in the G1 Kentucky Downs Ladies Sprint Stakes (Turf). Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. USHA (1) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by 0.8 lengths over 1207m in Listed grade at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Stiffer assignment here but she is likely to feature. TIME TO DAZZLE (3) has been in the placings her past two starts, finishing second over 1308m in the G1 Kentucky Downs Ladies Sprint Stakes (Turf) last time out. Among the chances again. SHOOT IT TRUE (5) showed good early speed over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf) last time and went on to salute by 3 lengths. Top strike rate at the journey with three wins and four placings from seven starts and cannot be underestimated. Something for the Multiples: KEHOE BEACH (6)
