Keeneland Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Allowance
WEST COAST DREAM (2) met with solid support last start over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when second, beaten 3 lengths. Can bounce back. CARA FELCE (5) is a speedy filly who was a winner first up at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Best figures should see her run well. HEARTBEAT (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1408m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. HOLD MY HALO (3) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1609m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf), beaten 1.3 lengths. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise.

Third-up today. First-up won by 5.5 len at Ellis Park on August 17 over 1609m defeating Diablo Shiraz carrying 56kg at $3.44. Second run from a spell 2nd in a small field at Churchill Downs on September 20 over 1609m, 3 len behind Cara Felce carrying 55.5kg at $1.66. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1710m.
